Doug Pecore

I am a senior level apparel executive with experience in sales, marketing, merchandising, and manufacturing. Over the last decade, I have transitioned from the corporate world to building a manufacturing and wholesale company from the ground up, expanding distribution to over 1,000 retail locations. Today, I leverage this entrepreneurial expertise to help other brands unlock their growth potential. Through targeted business development contracts, I architect national wholesale strategies, open doors to new clients and opportunities, and build high performing sales pipelines. At Lords of Sun, I have been engaged to create, launch, and execute a comprehensive national wholesale growth strategy across multiple distribution categories (Multi-Sport retailers, Luxury Coastal Lifestyle retailers, and National Major Retailers). I am responsible for designing the overarching infrastrucute for national wholesale operations, identifying/targeting/securing retail partnership across the US, and aligning production capabilities with national retail delivery demands. At Swimsuit Station, I have been chartered to pioneer the company's entry into major corporate retail channels while simultaneously accelerating regional wholesale growth. I am responsible for introducing the company to national and regional department stores and establishing first-ever corporate retail relationships, securing high-volume placement with major off-price clients, and spearheading the development and expansion of the specialty wholesale business across the State of Florida.
