@mariabelitskaya

Experienced marketing leader with a passion for brand development.

What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters leadership growth and innovative marketing strategies.

I am a marketing and leadership professional with over 15 years of experience in the fashion, sport, and retail industries. My career has been marked by a proven track record in leading high-performing teams and managing complex operations across international markets. I am a strategic thinker and skilled communicator, with expertise in brand marketing, media, PR, digital marketing, events, talent management, DTC, wholesale, e-commerce, and B2B.

In my recent role as Senior Manager Creative EMEA at The North Face, I managed a team of creative professionals across multiple countries, delivering impactful brand campaigns from concept to production. My previous experience as Marketing Director for Levi Strauss & Co. allowed me to lead comprehensive marketing strategies across 32 countries, building and managing cross-functional teams to drive business development. As a certified Executive Coach, I focus on leadership development and cross-cultural collaboration, empowering others to reach their full potential.
