Clement Chan

Senior Manager - Product Development @ Canada Goose

About

All great apparel companies have one thing in common: the ability to deliver first-in-class products for their customers. As an experienced product developer, I strive to bring creative visions to life, transforming them into tangible products that consumers both want and need. With a close eye to detail and an intense drive for precision, no product leaves my development without it being at its absolute best. Through my work at Canada Goose, I have been fortunate enough to oversee and work on special projects/collaborations such as Y/Project, Angel Chen, BEAMS, Feng Chen Wang, Reformation, Union x NBA, Paola Pivi x PBI, Rokh, Pyer Moss, BAPE, KidSuper, Collina Strada, Thebe Magugu and Mira Mikati.
