Born in Napoli 44 years ago, spent the last 10 living in Switzerland from which l've been relentlessly explored cultures and business opportunities across the globe. A life in fashion, following the steps of my dad Antonio who was a sales representative for iconic brands of the "paninari" era and all the way through the late 90's when I started to learn about the job while taking a business degree. Fast forward, I'm in an executive leadership role at Moose Knuckles, whose business I have been instrumental to build from a local 15M$ dimension in 2017 to a 200M$ business equally distributed across the three regions and with an homogeneous balance between wholesale, retail and digital dtc channels. As the EVP of Global Sales I oversee the commercial strategy and coordinate teams based out of Montreal, NYC, London, Milan and Shanghai. My role includes full responsibility on our EMEA operations and a seat in recently founded China committee for its strategic relevance. www.mooseknuckles.com G@mooseknucklescanada My journey in the industry include previous management roles at Woolrich, Guess, Versace and Benetton. Following a majority stake private equity investment in Moose Knuckles, I have familiarized and exposed myself to this new dimension of the fashion game. Since 2021 | have consulted for several pre and post acquisition investment deals in the fashion and luxury space. One of those lead to my role as Board Member for GCDS, a rising star in the new luxury design space controlled by Quadrivio and Made In Italy fund.More...
