Background

About Billy Johnson

With over ten years of experience in the fashion industry, I am a buyer with a passion for delivering innovative and customer-centric solutions. I have a strong background in business strategy, numeracy, and presentation skills, which enable me to set seasonal goals, drive business growth, and maximise commercial opportunities. I am currently a buyer for Ladies Accessories at Michael Kors, where I lead and develop high-performing teams, and collaborate with cross-functional partners to enhance the customer offer across multiple channels. I am motivated by the mission and culture of Michael Kors, and I strive to bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team. In my current role, I have led the development and execution of omni strategies, optimising the product assortment, pricing, and margin management for the accessories category. I have also fostered strong partnerships with suppliers, store managers, and retail partners, conducting regular business reviews and strategy meetings. Additionally, I have leveraged my analytical and problem-solving abilities to identify and capitalise on market trends and opportunities, and to conduct ongoing checks and reviews of product performance. I have also demonstrated my presentation and negotiation skills, negotiating contracts with licensee vendors and building and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders.
