I lead regional operations and strategic projects across immersive venues and retail.
What I'm looking for
At IKONO, I oversee multi-country operations across immersive experience venues in Germany, Austria, and Hungary, using performance data to improve consistency, efficiency, profitability, and visitor satisfaction.
I’ve led strategic projects across Europe, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, budgets, resources, and stakeholder communications to deliver work on time and aligned with corporate goals.
My background includes managing high-volume fashion retail stores for MANGO, LACOSTE, and GUESS?, where I led teams, controlled budgets and inventory, optimized sales, and strengthened customer experiences. I also launched a new LACOSTE store and managed two GUESS? locations simultaneously.
I bring more than nine years of operations and retail leadership experience, combining KPI development, process optimization, scheduling, and team development to support scalable growth.
