About me
I am a multi-channel specialist with a unique 360° view of the retail industry with over a decade of international experience driving growth within the premium and luxury goods. My broad experience has not only allowed me to understand and see the bigger picture in an organization, but it has also taught me to adapt to different scenarios and perspectives. I love to be surrounded by design-led products and creative environments. Fashion was my first love but managing and making businesses successful became my passion when I began my management career with VF Corporation. This, in turn, led me to study a MA in Fashion Retail Management at LCF which has provided me with strategic frameworks that supports the business decision I make. I’ve always been keen to learn new things and challenge the status quo. I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, lived in Dublin, Ireland from 2009-2014 and I am now based in London since 2015. In 2008 I completed a Fashion Design degree at UBA (University of Buenos Aires, Argentina) where I learnt about design and development aspects of the fashion industry. As a result of my interest in fashion and photography, I completed a Fashion Styling course at Central Saint Martins. After several years of experience in the retail industry, I decided to become a Fashion Retail specialist by completing a MA where I learnt how to manage and grow a fashion business. Due to my experience in customer faced environments coupled with my passion for travelling and the fact that I lived in multicultural cities, I developed a distinct cultural sensitivity and awareness.
