Andrei Mihalache
@andreimihalache
I improve commercial operations, performance, and profitability across multi-site retail businesses.
DenmarkWhat I'm looking for
At Humana People to People, I lead commercial and operational performance across three locations, partnering with European leadership on revenue, profitability, budgets, and resource planning.
I developed operating budgets and performance tracking that contributed to approximately DKK 800K in operating profit in 2025. I also standardised core processes, led SmartPlan, ShopBox, and Excel reporting implementation, and project-managed a 600m² flagship store from planning to launch.
Previously, I managed commercial performance, KPI tracking, budgets, and team development at Magasin du Nord. At John Lewis & Partners, I led Womenswear and Beauty performance and implemented Style Studio, increasing sales in the category by 400%.
I work pragmatically: I understand what is not working, use data where it helps, and turn the solution into something that works in practice.
