My Journey From Taking That First Step Into Business
I have a strong family history in the clothing industry, my great, great grandfather, Johannes, shown right(a tailor to Queen Victoria & Prince Albert, no less!) and I am an experienced merchant who has worked for major international brands like Levi Strauss, Timberland, Tommy Hilfiger, Barbour, and Ellesse. From starting out as a trainee buyer I have extensive experience in design, product development, sourcing, and major account selling. I have travelled extensively around the world, providing me with a rich understanding of different cultures and ways of doing business. I set up their own designer fashion store and consulted for various brands before becoming a creative industry focused business adviser.
To Where I Stand Today
I never expected to become a business mentor and adviser, but I am so glad that I did. After spending years in what I thought would be a life-long career in the fashion industry, I found myself feeling unfulfilled and looking for something more. That something more turned out to be a career helping others realise their dreams of running successful businesses. Through one-to-one coaching, seminars, and empathy-driven mentoring, I have been able to help countless clients reach their goals. Today, I am fulfilled by the knowledge that my work is making a difference in the lives of entrepreneurs around the world.
