Had an incredible time exploring Milan! From the inspiring Armani Silos with Emily Chan to the rich history at Palazzo Morando with Natascha Radclyffe-Thomas and Babette Radclyffe-Thomas.
Swipe to catch all the many moments we captured! 🤌🇮🇹

I had the honour and privilege of speaking at Centric Connect London in March of this year. During our panel discussion Jag Weatherly of ASOS challenged Daniel di Bendetto to address the challenges around sustainability that all fashion brands are facing. 🌳 and BOOM on Oct 9, he did just that with a stellar line up of inspirational SMEs, tech providers and brands.
Thanks Daniel for including me! #centricconnect #sustainability #sustainablefashion
Had an impromptu lunch with @gsennait on and am thrilled that she has an event at Parsons NY (New School) to promote her book 📕. I share my insights on Corporate Culture as the opening to the chapter on “People.” If you’re in NY Nov 6 do stop by and congratulate Sennait! 🎉
Another great event in Munich at the Amazon Fashion EU + Fashion Council Germany Fireside Dinner held at the wonderful Bayerisches Nationalmuseum. 🏛️
What a pleasure to moderate the panel on “The Tech Innovation Shaping the Future of Fashion”. And a thank you to everyone who joined and made it such a fab evening.😌
With Amazon’s Fashion Florian Mair, Adrian Runhof , FCG’s Scott Lipinski and Amazon’s Fiona Collins!

Great to see Charlotte Stobrawe head of digital fashion and transformation PTTRNS.AI just before London digital fashion week commenced! 👏 #digitaltransformation #digitalfashionweek
Blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. RUN DO NOT WALK to the ABBA Voyage Experience🏃♂️You don’t need to be an ABBA fan to appreciate the digital experience. The lifelike avatars are impressive. For the truly immersive experience, splurge and get a dance box with friends. The vantage point allows you to see all of the visual interactions throughout the arena. I felt like I was living the human dream as portrayed in the movie WALL-E. 😆

From Concept to Consumer.
I’ve been called “the polymath” because I understand the various technologies used to design, develop and manufacture product as well as sell at retail (online and in store) including customer engagement, services and relationship management. I get the process and under how to best leverage the technology.
Here are a few case studies of my work.
The Clienteling Product for Jaeger was implemented as an entirely new CRM system, demonstrating that Proximity Insight delivers all the might of its Salesforce base while being tailored to suit a true retail use case. Core requirements satisfied include being able to link in with all external systems, including POS, Ecommerce, and BI tools; while delivering the look and feel that is imperative for a customer facing retail tool.

Now they have rolled out with Proximity Insight across all locations.

Since 2010 I have worked almost exclusively on my iPhone. I am now taking my mobile life to a place beyond calls, emails, texts, photos, videos, and social media. I hope my anecdotes inspire you to love life through the use of your mobile device!
