Overview.
As the General Manager at The Athlete’s Foot since February 2019, I’ve led the company to significant milestones, including increase in topline sales and improved margin growth in purchasing from 2018 to 2022.
I founded and developed the “TAF Sneaker Care” sustainable initiative and guided the company towards its first profitable year under Intersport Group Denmark ownership in 2021.
My role involved comprehensive management of sales, inventory, business development, and e-commerce, alongside guiding franchise owners in the Faroe Island, Sweden, and Denmark.
Prior to this, I served as a Buyer at Sportmaster, managing the Lifestyle category for 100 stores and e-commerce, and as a Business Owner at Invictus Sport, where I developed an online platform generating significant annual turnover and established four physical stores.
My earlier roles include Store Manager at Sportmaster, leading a team of +70 people, and Sales Manager at Nike Store by Sportmaster.
Throughout my career, I’ve consistently focused on growth, team leadership, and customer engagement, making significant contributions to the sports retail industry in Denmark.
I’m now ready to serve and support your business!
