Helping brands build stronger collections, clearer processes and sustainable growth.

About Me

I am an Amsterdam-based fashion and lifestyle consultant with over twenty years of international experience across product, merchandising and leadership.

My career has been shaped by working closely with product, design, marketing, buying and commercial teams — translating creative ambition into clear strategy, strong assortments and results that work in the real world. I enjoy being close to the business, understanding what drives performance, and creating structure that helps teams collaborate better and move forward with confidence.

I am driven by curiosity and a strong belief in continuous improvement. I thrive in complex environments, where clarity is needed and decisions matter. Whether guiding product strategy, shaping merchandising frameworks or leading transformation, I bring a pragmatic, hands-on approach with a positive, people-focused mindset.

How I can help

  • I support organizations in building robust merchandising and buying models that are aligned, transparent, and scalable. Focus areas include end-to-end merchandising models, buying calendars and governance, range planning and budget ownership, DTC and omnichannel buy strategies, and decision frameworks and accountability.

    Result: improved clarity, better decision-making, and stronger execution across teams and seasons.

  • I help brands define and translate their creative and commercial ambitions into clear, consumer-centric product strategies. Focus areas include brand and product positioning, assortment architecture and range frameworks, seasonal and long-term product strategies, consumer and market alignment, and commercial performance optimization.

    Result: stronger collections, clearer brand handwriting, and improved commercial results.

  • I enable teams to collaborate more effectively by reducing complexity and building clear, structured ways of working across functions. Focus areas include cross-functional alignment (Design, Merchandising, Production, Sales, Supply Chain), calendar and milestone optimization, role clarity and ownership, process design and documentation, and tool implementation and adoption.

    Result: more efficient collaboration, reduced friction, and on-time delivery with higher quality outcomes.

  • I lead and support transformation initiatives during periods of growth, restructuring, or system change. Focus areas include end-to-end merchandising models, buying calendars and governance, range planning and budget ownership, DTC and omnichannel buy strategies, and decision frameworks and accountability.

    Result: sustainable change with strong adoption and engaged teams.
