I'm partnered with a mission driven, plant-based wellness brand in their search for an SVP, eCommerce to drive their next phase of profitable, digital-led growth. Please see below for more details!

Just opened a VP of Sales search for a trend-forward apparel brand that's been in market for 15 years and is ready to scale beyond DTC. Here's what actually matters for this role: You've scaled wholesale distribution across multiple retail channels while protecting margin. Department stores. Value retail. Specialty. Digital partnerships. You understand fashion cycles and can move product through the system without drowning in markdowns. You've built and led sales teams that can service major accounts at the executive level while executing a seasonal business calendar. You know the difference between streetwear culture and corporate activewear. And you've done this in apparel brands targeting Gen-Z and Millennial consumers who care more about trend and price than legacy. This isn't a "nice to have" leadership role. This is revenue ownership. Margin accountability. Cross-functional influence with design, production, and ops. If you've led sales for a contemporary apparel brand through a wholesale expansion phase and understand what it takes to negotiate with major retail partners while keeping inventory clean, I want to hear from you. Fully confidential. DM me.
