Retail Maestro to Enhance Yuga Labs
As part of Nike’s Converse operation throughout the past five years, Ghory boosted business strategies that contributed toward the sports brand’s best financial year ever. He assisted in rejuvenating the famed Chuck Taylor line, diversifying the product portfolio, and connecting with consumers through numerous cultural movements.
Before this, Ghory took on the role of Fashion Channel Director at Adidas for two years, crafting long-term objectives that boosted remarkable market share increases and sales growth. Effectively managing a hefty marketing budget, he innovated consumer experience and established fruitful affiliations with critical accounts like KITH.
At Coach, Ghory successfully led the debut of the men’s footwear line and was a linchpin in the brand, winning the CFDA Accessory Designer of the Year award in 2016. He displayed expertise in trend forecasting, assortment architecture, and team management, dramatically enhancing Coach’s brand aesthetics and product margins.
Considering Ghory’s illustrious career, it’s safe to assume that his influence will garner pioneering changes in Yuga’s fashion and merchandise.
