MEET JESS

Business to me is what we contribute to the world, not what we try to take from it. 

I’m a business consultant specialising in creative strategy and branding for emerging and established brands who operate in an ethical and responsible way. From business strategy and internal processes to brand communication, I step in and out of your business as needed to determine a roadmap for long-term success. Basically, I look at what you’re doing with a fresh set of eyes and two decades of experience. 

From an early age, I’ve loved combining creativity and commerce, and have engaged both to work across all sectors of the fashion industry. I spent 16 years in wholesale, sales & marketing, brand management, senior buying, e-commerce and General Manager and Managing Director roles before starting my own consultancy in 2014. 

I’ve worked with global luxury brands such as Prada, Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen and high-street brands such as Topshop and Glue. I’ve managed global teams and multi-million-dollar turnovers and I’ve managed start-ups with lean budgets and platforms. I’ve given my expertise to big brands and now I want to channel it into helping those who want to do things differently.

Five years ago I stopped working with brands that were having a negative impact on the world and started working exclusively with brands and not-for-profits and social enterprises that are working towards a sustainable and ethical future. I bring my creative and strategic expertise gained from working with big brands to help businesses build a strong foundation, form a clear plan and find refreshing solutions. All the while doing right by the planet and people.

To me, that’s just good business.
