Welcome to Women in Retail Talks, the podcast where C-suite executive women in the retail space share their stories of professional growth, leadership development, personal journeys, and more.
I'm Melissa Campanelli, the co-founder of the Women in Retail Leadership Circle, which is a membership-based community of senior-level women in retail.
Today, I'm joined by Melissa Lowenkron, the chief brand officer at Fossil Group, where she leads brand strategy, design, merchandising, product development, and marketing for the Fossil brand.
Acting as the central steward of the brand, she drives its vision, execution, and overall business performance.
With deep expertise in luxury retail, merchandising, and brand building, Melissa has built a career defined by scaling and elevating iconic brands.
Before joining Fossil four years ago as senior VP and general manager, Melissa held senior leadership roles at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, where she oversaw merchandising across many categories such as handbags, shoes, beauty, jewelry, and apparel.
