I'm a Merchandising & Buying Director with a solid international professional experience (in Italy, in Paris, France and in New York, US), with a specific knowledge of foreign markets and with also a background in product development, which I gained working for important brands in the "Luxury" and "Alternative to Luxury" segments. For over 20 years I've been supporting Multinationals, SMEs and Start Ups in the Fashion and Luxury goods sector for the development of corporate business, overseeing Collection & Retail Merchandising/Buying and Brand management. I have a strategic vision aimed at optimizing costs, profitability, and image consistency, therefore: • I implement and optimize Merchandising processes, as well as operational and strategic ones. • I rationalize the collection structure, ensuring the maximum efficiency. • I optimize the Buying team, as well as purchasing strategies and processes. • I cooperate with several corporate functions to optimize commercial strategies (Design, Communication, Visual, Operations). • I optimize the sales team performances with an accurate training on the product.
