About Maria Dimurro

Connect with me on LinkedIn using mdimurro@baggallini.com As a passionate, fashion savvy brand champion with progressive experience launching and building global luxury lifestyle brands such as Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, and DKNY, I have leveraged my strong communication, presentation, negotiation, and follow through skills to maximize sales potential. During my 15-year career in the fashion industry, I have successfully established and managed excellent business relationships with major retailers such as Macy’s, Dillard’s, Belk, Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, and Saks 5th Avenue. I offer a collaborative approach that involves conducting store visits and leading strategy meetings with General Merchandising Managers and District Merchandising Managers to ensure substantial account growth with major department stores. My subject matter expertise spans all areas of sales leadership, including P&L management, team building, channel development, account management, assortment merchandising, sales analysis/forecasting, inventory buys, and off-price business. In addition to my strong ability to develop and implement strategies that fuel the success of tactical sales initiatives, I have a proven record of devising wholesale distribution tactics that result in rapid account acquisition for industry leading designers and fashion houses. One of my proudest achievements as Vice President of Sales for Camuto Group in New York was growing a new Wholesale Handbag division from zero to $10 million in annual revenue within 3 years. However, throughout my career, I have earned a solid reputation for my ability to meet the goals and objectives of any organization with which I am associated.
