About

Currently co-founder and President of In The Black, I am stepping down from my current role and seeking a new challenge in a company with ambitious projects and strong values where I can leverage my skills to benefit the teams and the organization. With over 16 years of experience in the fashion retail industry, I am a passionate and driven leader who enjoys building and leading high-performing teams. Throughout my career, my teams and I consistently achieved our targets, improved efficiency, enhanced customer experience, increased staff engagement, and facilitated growth.
