Bio

International profile with strong 15 years professional experience in Luxury Retail & Marketing from L'Oréal to LVMH and Kering groups. Managed Retail Expansion and led business transformation from wholesale to retail business model with 150 stores openings across Europe, Middle East and APAC regions. As a part of an Executive Committee member of Alexander McQueen house (London), and previously being responsible for driving commercial results at Louis Vuitton (Paris) my key priorities are: 1. to set up worldwide retail standards that reflect Brand DNA across all retail network 2. to drive sales teams to achieve commercial targets 3. to be responsible for Retalisation model of the brand (internally – through cross-functional collaboration with PR&Com, Finance, HR and development of new concept store, opening new location, client experience & selling ceremony, staff incentive scheme, OMNI, retail training and staff induction) As an agile and transformative leader, I focus on the absolute trinity: Teams, Clients and Operations. To achieve remarkable commercial results, it’s crucial to drive Sales Teams not only with KPIs & objectives, but also educate them on Brand vision, product & market knowledge, as well as to develop local Clients’ Loyalty and execute Operational Excellence. Ksenia holds a unique combination of operational and strategic competences thanks to her experience and hands-on approach with managing retail stores (recruitement, operations) as well as working with CEOs and managing budgets and strategic decisions.
