J.Crew Factory’s Post

I was saving my yearly LinkedIn post for my 3 year anniversary in a few weeks, but today’s launch of Brooklyn Storehouse is a far more exciting milestone (first iconic, stateside partnership- watch this space!). Joining Vibration Production in 2021 at the tail end of the pandemic seemed like a crazy risk to anyone looking in at the time (and many told me as much!). Having forged my career in the comfort of big international corporates, moving into event production, heading up a finance function and being tasked with a complete overhaul/creation/imbedding of all processes and a commercially driven team was a big move away from my comfort zone but little did I know, it was going to be much more than that original job description. Best. Move. Of. My. Life. What Broadwick has given/taught me: -Collaboration; not cold hearted competition. -Good Ideas are given a fighting chance. -No one worth knowing is going to take credit for your hard work. -No one is claiming to know it all or have all the answers. -Partners that share our vision fuel us, those that don’t get it, fuel us too! -You need the tiny details to form the bigger picture (always been my mantra but now reinforced daily!). -If you can’t be unapologetically yourself, you’re not in the right place. -Working with people that push and inspire you, will be your greatest education. -And so, so, so much more. Thank you for believing in me, trusting in me and holding me to the highest standard. If giving it your all, being highly adaptable and being fully invested isn’t for you, then Broadwick won’t be. It’s more unbridled passion, inspiring ways of thinking and delivering these to the highest standard across MUSIC•CULTURE•SPACE.

There are moments worth celebrating. Wins are still out there no matter how things may appear. Two more retail stores approved for clients in NJ and another two full vertical licenses (cult, manu, retail) for two clients that own their own land in NJ. There are also losses. In the 1,300 range for NY priority review. Likely not a winner. Onward and upward. Learn from each experience and bring that to the next venture or deal. Still have a great location in New Rochelle for anyone that wins in the Mid-Hudson region.

Here are a few interesting facts about our Amazon JFK27 office or the former Lord and Taylor building. I know a few of youll have had coffee/my favorite CELSIUS Holdings, Inc. and have asked several questions about the artwork or the building! #Amazon #AWS #startups #VentureCapital #corporateVC #Newyork #entrepreneurs

When you take a risk and set out on a new course, it’s reassuring to know the company your investing in is at the top of their game. Having worked with CI Select as an industry partner and now as an employee, I know firsthand why they continue to be a market leader: professionalism, a sound business strategy, and a capable team backed by a strong work culture.

Washington Prime Group Inc.'s CEO, Christopher Conlon, spoke during the University of Cincinnati Real Estate Center 's May Roundtable this morning. Here are some notes: • Trending / "Hot" retailers in their portfolio include Scheels and Market by Macy's • "Pioneers" in their older malls who often change the direction of the asset include Warby Parker, lululemon, SEPHORA, Shake Shack, Buck Mason, Faherty Brand, and Nike. Often push for termination rights and start with % rent. Still demanding marketing $ and co-tenancy • Demolished 130 Million SF and only added 4 Million SF in the last 2 years. Highlighting the fact that open-air and enclosed mall owners are preferring to repurpose space over new construction • Challenges Ahead: Overall health of the consumer is a concern. While there is a strong employment rate, higher rates and credit card defaults are straining the lower socio-economic groups Well attended overall! #retail #realestate #cre #Colliers #CincyRetail

The John Lewis Partnership has been through a torrid time. And no one has felt this more than Partners. From my conversations with people I know across all levels of both Waitrose and John Lewis, there has been a sense of frustration that then business has not been focusing on the right things and that it has been drifting away from retail. Dame Sharon White has started to correct this of late, but the blunt truth is that many in the business never thought she was the right person for the job because of her lack of retail experience. The role of Chairman has changed at the Partnership. It used to be somewhat ceremonial - like a head of state - there to represent the interests of the partners and to promote the business. Under that old arrangement the day-to-day businesses were run by managing directors who were highly experienced in retail. Dame Sharon would likely have been good in this old-style Chairman role. But today the structure is different. The Chairman role is more hands on and more operational. That needs someone with deep retail expertise, which is why Jason Tarry's appointment as the next Chairman is highly sensible. There's a lot more work to do, but as I told the Daily Mail - it will give confidence to partners, who have been increasingly nervous and frustrated that the business isn’t focusing on the right things.
