about

After more than 12 years of experience in luxury goods, we’ve come to know a thing or two about what makes a retail business run right (and what doesn’t).
We’ve also learned that the way things work can be critically dependent on the way they look —whether it's a complex system for running critical sales reports; a kick-ass presentation deck; or an avant-garde website.
A cry for help on Google gives you a bunch of stodgy consultancies with no shortage of opinion on product but an obvious lack of technical acumen with their prefab business "formulas" and useless Excel templates.*
Enter The Retail Refinery — a boutique firm providing bespoke solutions for: day-to-day buying, planning, and wholesale ops; short-term project execution & management; long-term strategy building.

We don't do that sort of thing.

Started at banking behemoth Goldman Sachs.
Realized he was supposed to be at the other Saks (the one on Fifth Avenue).
Extensive experience in buying, wholesale, and e-com from some of the best in the business (ie: Ferragamo, Gucci, & Louis Vuitton).
Tackles the toughest problems with data analysis, an eye for detail, and a healthy dose of sarcasm.
Haven't had enough yet? Check out more juicy details here.

‘I hate this beautiful, automated spreadsheet that helps me run my business,’ said no one, ever.

Schedule a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation during which we will clearly define the central challenge facing your business.
We'll also explore potential solutions and determine if we're a match.
If the feeling is mutual, we'll begin devising a plan to achieve your objectives. We're selective about the projects we take on, so when we get the green light, we're all in.
And if we're not a fit, that's ok too. You'll still walk away with a better idea of what to do next for your business — not to mention a new friend you can always connect with in the future as your business needs evolve.
