About

I am an enterprise growth leader with experience scaling consumer and lifestyle brands and categories through critical phases of evolution, from strengthening commercial fundamentals to supporting multi-market expansion. Currently, I serve as Chief Revenue Officer at BuDhaGirl, where I partner closely with leadership to drive enterprise value across revenue strategy, brand economics, go-to-market execution, and global growth initiatives. My focus spans DTC, wholesale, marketing, product launches, inventory planning, and organizational alignment, ensuring growth is disciplined, brand-led, and sustainable. Prior to BuDhaGirl, I spent 16 years at Fossil Group, where I held leadership roles across brand, strategy, and global business operations for multiple brands. During my tenure, I helped launch and scale Michael Kors Access into a $160M global business and led global strategy for Fossil’s $300M+ connected devices division, working directly with executive leadership and board-level stakeholders. Across roles, I’ve specialized in aligning brand vision with commercial execution while building operating cadence, developing teams, protecting margin, and scaling responsibly. I’m most energized by opportunities where strong brands are ready to evolve into their next phase of growth.
