About

Offro consulenza alle aziende che vogliono sviluppare la loro strategia e-business e consolidare la loro presenza online tramite il posizionamento su siti multimarca e-tailers e marketplace. Prima di diventare consulente mi sono occupata dello sviluppo del brand Baldinini nei mercati internazionali attraverso il posizionamento sulle piattaforme marketplace, occupandomi della gestione dei clienti e del canale sotto tutti gli aspetti: prospezione, contatto clienti, trattativa commerciale, contracting, gestione del budget totale del canale online, vendite. Ho iniziato la mia carriera nel fashion come Store Manager, per poi crescere come Retail Manager fino a diventare Online Wholesale Manager all'interno di una realtà consolidata come Max Mara. Specializzata nel mantenimento delle relazioni di canale, nella scoperta di opportunità significative e nella negoziazione di accordi con grandi clienti al dettaglio, mi viene riconosciuta una spiccata abilità nel comprendere le dinamiche di acquisto del consumatore finale, conoscenze che spendo quotidianamente nell'ambito delle mie relazioni con i buyer internazionali. Proprio le mie doti comunicative e negoziali, insieme alla mia capacità di persuasione, storytelling e mirroring, mi hanno permesso di costruire nel tempo solidi rapporti di fiducia all'interno del mercato retail e, di conseguenza, di raggiungere e superare sempre gli obiettivi assegnati. : • Analisi degli scenari di mercato, progettazione e pianificazione della strategia digitale e di vendita online. • Gestione del budget, reporting e misurazione delle performance. • Conoscenza e comprensione delle dinamiche e processi Fashion Buying e Merchandise Planning.
