Simon Taylor
Founder @ SLI Retail Consultants
About
With a rewarding international retail executive career spanning over twenty years, I have advanced to a senior executive level in brands such as N Brown Group PLC and New Look, in addition to Burberry, Alshaya Group and Al Hokair. I am a trusted board advisor, investor and shareholder with an ever-growing non-executive portfolio. My passion is helping organizations seeking to expand globally, exploring online, franchise, concession and wholesale B2B and B2C opportunities using my extensive international network. I understand the complexities and challenges of new markets, operating in Europe, the US, Canada, the Middle East and SE Asia, and facilitate access. In today’s world, more and more people are looking for companies that place sustainability at the top of their agenda. I collaborate with founders, C-suite and senior leadership teams on shaping the future, looking into sustainable manufacturing and smarter ways to reuse resources. In some cases, I even invest in those businesses. I understand board dynamics and the importance of robust governance to ensure effective decision-making. I enable organizations to evolve, pivot and change direction or scale through international partnerships.
