Not a directory. A deliberately small group of people who have actually run apparel operations, brought in where their depth is the thing a client needs.
We advise on people, operational processes, systems, capital and vendors. Nobody is genuinely expert across all of that, and the ones who claim to be are usually expert in none of it.
So the model is depth rather than breadth. A brand replatforming its ERP needs someone who has lived through three implementations. A brand drowning in deductions needs someone who has run a compliance desk. Those are different people.
We are assembling that group now, one specialist at a time, and we would rather take twelve months to get it right than fill it in a quarter.
Ten years or more inside apparel or adjacent consumer goods, with real operational responsibility. Time in a brand, a manufacturer, a 3PL or a systems implementer all count. General management consulting on its own does not.
We are looking for the person who knows retailer compliance cold, or has taken eight brands through ERP selection, or has restructured a wholesale operation twice. One deep area is more useful to us than five shallow ones.
Advisors appear publicly with their name, background and specialism. Credibility is the point. Anonymous experts are worth nothing to a client deciding whether to trust us.
We do not put brands on systems that do not fit, and we say so when the honest answer is that they are fine as they are. If that is a difficult position for you commercially, this will not work.
Most good people in this industry have their own practice, clients and relationships. We are not asking you to give those up. We are asking that engagements you take through us are done to a shared standard.
Brands arrive having read a guide and understood the problem, rather than cold. We route work to the advisor whose depth matches the problem.
Advisors are named publicly and attributed on anything they write. This is not white-label subcontracting.
Guides and comparisons published under your byline, on a site built to be found by search and cited by AI assistants.
Independent operators work alone. Having four or five others to pressure-test a recommendation against is worth more than most people expect.
Send us what you have run and where you are deep. If there is a fit we will set up a call, and if there is not we will tell you plainly.
