ABOUT US
BOARD MEMBER & ADVISOR WITH EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP, STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE AS CEO IN MULTICULTURAL ENVIRONMENTS
As a corporate entrepreneur turned entrepreneur, I am now acting as an advisor, a board member, and a private investor, leveraging my extensive experience and expertise in the luxury industry acquired in multicultural environments (10 years in Asia and 15 years in London).
CEO for more than 20 years, I have successfully developed aspirational brands and customer-centric businesses across geographies and cultures, mainly in luxury retailing and emotional industries. I have a strong track record of leading talented teams, building brands, driving growth, fostering digital innovation, developing markets including China, and leading omnichannel transformations.
Strategic and operational, with a backbone in finance, I am passionate about brand building, leadership, team performance, people development, transformation journeys, exceptional CX to customers and value to stakeholders.
l have had the chance to lead many different multicultural teams in a variety of environments (fashion, jewellery, real estate, graphic arts, media entertainment) and regions.
These experiences enabled me to develop strong skills in leadership, retail, digital and organisational transformation, marketing, business development, IT, and operational P&L management - both global and regional.
But to me, soft skills matter as much; my greatest passion consists into identifying talents, revealing their full potential and building high-performance teams.
I believe it is critical for a CEO to behave as a temporary custodian of brands, whose duty is to sublime them, create emotions and desirability whilst ensuring perfect execution.
I believe deeply in the values of Excellence, Teamwork, Managerial Courage, Responsibility, Empathy and Loyalty.
I have always been engaging on CSR and Diversity & Inclusion, leading all my companies and businesses as corporate citizens.
Last, since 2019, I have been involved in many start-ups supporting their founders through mentoring and coaching. Transmission is to me, a key role and duty of a leader.
