After more than twenty years combining my natural creative mindset with business acumen, I have developed an industry wide insight unlike most. For two-decades I ran one of the largest grey market suppliers as a vendor for Costco, globally, SAMS club, BJs, and other well-known off-price retailers. I know exactly how premium products leave authorized channels, and exactly what documentation disappears when it does. 

My expertise, successfully shaping apparel and footwear strategies, built global retail partnerships, developed private label programs for department stores and off-price giants,  launched new clothing brands and reshaped brands in danger.

I have executed indirect-direct deals between today's most recognized brands, and I have pioneered innovative platforms and digital tv networks, including  MOMTV and
The Fashion TV Network, FBTV.  Under my leadership, I grew both networks to air daily, LIVE, tv shows around the globe. My creative insight and business development skills, provided me the foundation to foresee new tv show host talent, production development, and host a tv show for 6 Seasons, Fashionology Today. 

Today, I work in tandem with my fashion and textile global intelligence firm, MADGAVASH, to provide support to a recent fashion student graduate interested in launching a brand the old fashioned way, or working directly with senior designers at a household brand overseeing the forecasted collections, or sitting alongside a companies founder as the senior embedded advisor for six months. I am often called upon to support name brands in tracking, locating and unwrapping how their products are being offered through the same deep grey market and off-price sectors, I once supplied, when they cannot find the routes taken to end up in a global off-price retailer.

Today, I support the industry I love.

I am proud to be part of building The Verified Compliance Network; giving everyone within the fashion and textile industries a singular digital platform to search companies compliance status, to become compliant, and to ensure compliance for the future. VCN provides true transparency to consumers and industry entities alike. 

Drawing from my unparalleled experiences, I write a weekly column, Wear on Wednesday (W.O.W.) providing a provocative and punchy take on the industry that week for readers who love fashion and for industry veterans who want to dig deeper.

I also provide an analytical voice to major publications and news outlets, and my intelligence briefs are published on The Worldwide Fashion Network(WWFN) weekly.
