About
Hello!
I'm a retail analyst and consultant. I work with retailers and those connected to the industry to help them make informed commercial decisions based on a thorough understanding of the market and its future direction.
I analyze lots of different things within retail, including: consumer behavior; brand preferences; channel dynamics; competitive strategies; market forecasts; stores and locations; and much more!
As well as working with individual clients, I also talk to the media about retail and present at conferences. I love sharing information, insight, and analysis - and always try to do it in a way that is understandable, relevant, actionable, and exciting. Yes, exciting - analysis should not be boring!
If you'd like to know more, or if you want to chat retail, please get in touch!
