Katherine Gilpin & Co. | C-Suite Retail Strategist & Tranformation Consultant

Experience

My strategic fluency is grounded in operational credibility and a cross-industry perspective. I bring an operator’s lens to consulting engagements across sectors — from mid-market to luxury, technology, consumer goods, and retail — helping legacy brands and fast-growth disruptors alike unlock growth. Pragmatic, hands-on, and deeply collaborative, I build trust quickly and deliver results that stick.

At Giorgio Armani US, I drove a retail transformation of customer experience and store operations, restoring momentum and returning retail to growth.

At Polo Ralph Lauren, I architected and led an outlet merchandising and product reset that unlocked exponential growth and durable channel profitability.

I began my career at Banana Republic, where I developed my merchant foundation and helped launch BR Home in the late 1990s.
