With 15+ years leading product from concept to shelf, I specialize in translating brand vision into assortments that perform, across accessories, home décor, fragrance, gifting, handbags and jewelry. I've built and scaled multi-category programs for some of the most recognized names in retail, working across global manufacturing networks in Asia, India, Africa, Mexico, Europe, and the Americas.
