Strategic Support to Strengthen Your Buying Function
From category growth to team capability, the strength of your buying function determines the strength of your business. I partner with companies to optimise operations, build systems that last, and create the kind of commercial confidence that drives results season after season.
Why Training Matters...
In most companies, buyers learn by doing. That can work for a while, but over time, the gaps add up. Ranges take longer to finalize. Numbers aren’t managed as confidently. Senior leaders spend too much time covering ground their teams should own.
Training closes those gaps before they hold the business back. It ensures every buyer, at every level, is equipped to make sound commercial decisions and contribute to results.

How I Support Teams
very company has its own challenges, categories, and ways of working. My role is to bring perspective from 25+ years across both design and buying — and to help you build a stronger buying function that fits your business.
I support companies through:
- Category growth strategy – sharpening focus, building ranges that perform, and positioning categories for sustainable growth
- Operational optimisation – streamlining processes, timelines, and decision-making to reduce delays and improve outcomes
- Team capability development – identifying training needs and ensuring buyers at every level are equipped to perform with confidence
- Systems and frameworks – creating tools and structures that make better buying decisions repeatable, not dependent on individual effort
Consulting support can include a full category review, process mapping, hands-on workshops with teams, or ongoing strategic advisory. The approach is always practical, tailored, and designed to create results you can measure.
What It Means
for Your Business
When buyers are trained well, they don’t just execute tasks — they elevate the business. They negotiate with confidence, manage numbers with clarity, and make decisions that protect margin and strengthen categories.
And as their capability grows, leaders gain the space to focus on strategy, innovation, and long-term growth.
That’s what team training delivers: buyers who are not only ready for their roles today, but prepared to grow into the leaders you’ll need tomorrow.
Hello! I’m Elisabeth
My career has taken me from the factory floor to global buying offices, where I’ve managed categories, led teams, and built the systems that keep businesses moving. Along the way, I’ve seen what makes categories thrive — and what stalls them.
Now, I bring that experience to companies who want stronger buying functions. Through consulting, I partner with leaders to optimize categories, streamline operations, and build capability across teams, so the business isn’t just reacting to the pace of fashion — it’s leading with clarity and confidence.
