About

I am a senior commercial, sourcing and supply chain leader with over 25 years’ experience shaping large-scale global sourcing ecosystems across fashion, home and lifestyle retail.
My career has been built at the intersection of product, commercial performance and global supply chains, helping businesses grow, transform and navigate complexity with clarity, pace and rigour.

I have operated at Board and Executive level for much of my career, advising on sourcing strategy, margin optimisation, working-capital improvement and responsible growth across multi-market organisations.
I am currently Commercial Director for Bhartiya International, where I have been appointed to establish and scale the group’s UK and European commercial presence.

This includes setting up a London-based creative and sourcing office, building and leading a multidisciplinary team, and developing long-term strategic partnerships with UK, European and US retailers. My role is focused on aligning creative capability, sourcing architecture and commercial strategy to deliver differentiated, margin-accretive product solutions at scale.
Previously, I was Partner & Head of Sourcing for Fashion & Home at John Lewis & Partners, where I led the end-to-end Own Brand sourcing strategy across a £400m+ product portfolio. I worked closely with the Executive team and Board on global sourcing transformation, near-shore strategy and long-term operating model design, delivering significant margin improvement, working-capital release and increased supply chain resilience.
Before this, I spent over 15 years in senior leadership roles at Next Sourcing, including Head of Global Sourcing & Design, with full accountability for global design, sourcing and commercial delivery across multiple categories. I built and led large international teams across the UK and Asia, partnered directly with the Next Board, and delivered sustained commercial growth through disciplined sourcing strategy and product excellence.
I am recognised for building high-performing teams, developing trusted senior stakeholder relationships, and translating product vision into commercially successful, ethically robust customer propositions. My leadership style is calm, authoritative and execution-focused, combining deep technical and product expertise with strong commercial judgement in volatile global markets.
Alongside my executive roles, I act as a Board Advisor to Source Fashion and Spring Fair, and mentor professionals navigating senior career transitions within retail and sourcing.
