Background

About Gilbert Hudson

Retail and sales executive with 15+ years of experience leading premium and luxury store operations, scaling high-performing teams, and driving revenue across North America. I’ve launched flagship locations, rebuilt underperforming stores, and collaborated directly with global leadership teams in Europe and Asia to align U.S. retail strategy with brand goals. Most recently, I oversaw company-owned stores for Bang & Olufsen—leading teams in NYC, negotiating leases, managing multimillion-dollar budgets, and delivering a top-5 global ranking for our Soho location. From managing 17 locations across the U.S. and Canada to hosting events with partners like Lamborghini and Hästens, I’ve combined strategic planning with on-the-ground execution to create standout results. I’m now exploring new opportunities where I can bring that same energy and expertise to a Director, Senior Manager, or VP-level role in retail, sales, or store operations. 🟦 Experiential Retail Strategy 🟦 Luxury Brand & Consumer Tech Sales 🟦 Retail Site Launches & Lease Negotiations 🟦 Budgeting, Forecasting & P&L Ownership 🟦 Team Leadership & Performance Coaching 🟦 Marketing Activation & Event Planning 🟦 Multi-Region Retail Operations 🟦 Inventory Management & Merchandising 🟦 Stakeholder Relations & Global Collaboration
