My background includes leadership roles at brands like Cole Haan and Marc Fisher Footwear, where I led cross-functional teams through the full product lifecycle — from trend forecasting and concept development to technical execution and go-to-market delivery. I bring a strategic and creative approach to product creation, category management, and merchandising, consistently delivering commercially successful, brand-right products across DTC, wholesale, and specialty channels. I thrive in collaborative environments, where I can mentor teams, manage complex creative workflows, and balance data-driven decisions with compelling storytelling. I'm also passionate about sustainable design and thoughtful innovation, always aiming to translate consumer insight into impactful, growth-driving solutions.
