MATILDA KALAVESHI

CEO

My introduction to the international fashion industry started at an early age in Europe. After transitioning into the buying world when I joined Macys Corporate Inc, I completely fell in love with retail and the business side of the fashion world.

For the past 18 years, I have worked for numerous retailers in the southeast region and have held different positions such as fashion buyer, planner, senior buyer, fashion director, and consultant.

I currently run my own retail consulting boutique where I help brands and retailers build and grow profitable businesses. I also teach at Istituto Marangoni and Miami Dade College Fashion Institute.

At a local level, I am the Downtown NEWS Business Correspondent. I focus on retail news, consumer trends, e-commerce, emerging brands, new retail developments, and more.
