Now with ’19 behind us, and ’20 here, what next…?

There are many strategic opportunities for those brands willing to put forth the effort to migrate their Legacy systems, products, processes and procedures, and adopt and/or implement new ways to maximize ROI in our New Age.

Those brands who are proactive vs reactive will also realize a sustained long term benefit to their investment, impacting all areas of their business on a global scale. Several areas where brands will need to look to migrate, and move towards;

1. Personalization – the more personal the communication, the better.

2. Value – provide Value to your Customer beyond asking them to purchase.

3. UX – Seamless User Experience.

4. Engagement – build your Loyalty curve, and engage in a personalized, meaningful way from consideration through to post purchase.

5. Privacy – respect your Customer Privacy, ref  number 2, as to what they are looking for in a brand.

I have a passion for living balanced life and a strong faith...each equally important for thriving and excelling…I love crushing mountain bike trails, exploring and finding ways to grow beyond the “status quo”. I am a dedicated, innovation driven team leader with a passion for establishing a disruptive vision and executing a market dominating strategy… Our industry has always been about creating innovative, market driving solutions that enhance performance or provide for a better life beyond sport. It has also been about culture, fit and passion for the brand. When these foundational pillars are removed, the brand starts to crumble. Being part of an industry that bridges talent between product creation, marketing, sales, finance and operations is formula for success, because every function is about building a foundational performance brand. It’s galvanizing when elite athletes wear and endorse our creations, but the real strength is leading the teams that combine their creative forces and technical expertise to make the engine roar. I am always passionate for defining and leading the next industry revolution… Extensive executive level experience across globally recognized brands, each number one in their respective  markets, along with having founded and successfully sold my own branded apparel company. Whether establishing new product lines, building global marketing strategies, leading design/development teams, I have a passion for building and growing brands.  Some examples; • Built Zamst from start up to achieving nationwide North American distribution, and 845% revenue growth over a 3 1/2 year period. • With Gathering Storm, grew TaylorMade/adidas Golf Accessories from $11M to $48M over 3 years. • K-Swiss, global executive management of $38M in international licensee’s and domestic apparel/accessories division. • OAKLEY, built and successfully developed “Athletic Division” NCAA licensed team eyewear/apparel product lines achieving $1.4M in initial season.
