Jill Vanderzand

Retail & Operations Director @ The Detox Market

About

I'm an accomplished luxury retail professional, with more than 10 years of management experience and proven ability to drive sales and identify and nurture talent. I've worn many hats in my career-- manager, mentor, personal stylist, recruiter, visual merchandiser, buyer, marketer, publicist and event planner. As a result I have a unique ability to synthesize multiple facets of a business, and a unique understanding of the particular talents, abilities and potential challenges facing the people that I collaborate with. This understanding leads to building stronger relationships, ensuring we meet our mutual goals together. I chose a career in luxury retail because in this business success and fun are not mutually exclusive-- and there are constant opportunities for creativity, problem solving, & making someone's day. What makes my day: seeing a member of my team reach a goal, win an award, or achieve a promotion. When they succeed, I succeed. I love fashion, health & wellness, interior design, yoga, travel, good books, good food, and great conversation. I look forward to re-connecting with former colleagues and friends & making new acquaintances, so please feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect.
