What I'm looking for

I am particularly interested in a role that combines strategic business leadership with hands-on field execution, including sales strategy, operations, team development, client development, training, budgeting, and cross-functional collaboration.

At MEMO PARIS, I partnered with leadership across 30+ retail locations and worked with the buying office on purchasing, assortment, inventory planning, and sales strategies. I oversaw average store sales increases of 25% through training, coaching, clienteling, and sales floor engagement.

At AMOUAGE AMERICAS, LLC, I supported performance across more than 25 store locations and increased regional sales by 18% through hands-on coaching and client engagement. I also delivered training to improve average transaction value and units per transaction.

At NEIMAN MARCUS, I led a team of more than 50 sales associates, achieved 34% season-over-season sales growth, and managed a client book generating approximately $1M–$3M annually. Earlier, at ICP (INTERNATIONAL COSMETIC PERFUMERS), I supported 40+ retail locations, trained sales associates and account executives, and increased regional sales by 15–20% year-over-year.
