Experienced retail professional specializing in luxury fashion sales.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
My name is Vanessa Merten, and I am an experienced retail professional with a strong background in luxury fashion sales. I have spent over a decade honing my skills in high-end retail environments, where I have developed a keen eye for style and a deep understanding of customer needs. My journey began with my vocational training at Gerry Weber Retail GmbH, where I learned the fundamentals of retail management and customer service.
Throughout my career, I have held various positions in prestigious stores, including LEVIS and Willy Bogner GmbH. At Bogner, I was responsible for the ski fashion department, where I successfully managed inventory and sales strategies that significantly boosted the department's performance. My role as a floor manager at KaDeWe allowed me to further refine my leadership skills, overseeing a team and ensuring exceptional customer experiences.
With a passion for fashion and a commitment to excellence, I strive to create memorable shopping experiences for customers. I am eager to bring my expertise in luxury retail to a dynamic team that values quality and customer satisfaction.
