“I began my journey with LEF 15 years ago, following the Luxury Approach Master Class, and later served as Co-Chair of the Alumni Council for more than a decade. Through LEF's educational initiatives and brand partnerships, I've built lasting relationships, led and moderated numerous panels across various brands, andcontinued to grow within the luxury industry. The exchanges, networking opportunities, and friendships I've developed have been incredibly rewarding and consistently supported my personal and professional growth in the ever-evolving luxury retail landscape.”
