Dirk BikkembergsManager Online & E-commerce
Mar. 2007 - Jan. 2011At Dirk Bikkembergs, I spearheaded the creation of a groundbreaking new business unit, positioning the company as one of the first luxury fashion brands to embrace e-commerce—predating even industry giants like Burberry. This pioneering initiative was truly a greenfield project, where I built the team from zero and introduced e-commerce strategies to a company traditionally focused on offline distribution. Through these efforts, we achieved enormous revenue growth, establishing Dirk Bikkembergs as a dominant online player in men’s fashion across Europe. My work laid the foundation for a seamless digital transition, integrating online marketing and sales capabilities that greatly expanded the brand's reach and innovative stature in the luxury fashion industry.
