Career to date is a story of considerable commercial success, as seen in the transformation of the handbag department at a major department store from a provider of core basics into the biggest retailer of premium and luxury handbags in the UK.

Focused upon driving sales and margin having delivered year on year growth in department stores, concessions and online. Intellectually rigorous, with strong financial and analytical skills and an ability to identify key trends on the rise and before they decline.
