What our clients say…
Cynthia Roe - President REI Capital
I hired Joan Boyd with the specific goal of improving vendor margins and reducing inventory at both retail and wholesale - both of which were accomplished within one season of her arrival.
We saw increased revenues as a result of Joan’s astute margin analysis. Equally important, more efficient purchasing and substantial improvements in our wholesale inventory sell-through both contributed to in improved EBITDA position.
Joan is a completely focused, dedicated professional who is best in class in her field. I found her to be an invaluable asset.
frank tworecke - former group president of warnaco group
Joan is more than a margin negotiator - she is a forensic accountant!
Colleen Kelly - CEO Alex Apparel Group (SL and Alex Evenings)
While President of CKJeans, I hired Joan Boyd to help take my assortment planning process to the next level. The end result of her work was a greatly improved analytical tool that enabled my company to put the right merchandise in the right door at the right time. I believe that this new tool greatly improved my regular price sell-throughs!
I have since hired Joan two other times.
randy ziebarth - new business development manager at inplay showroom
I can’t begin to thank Joan enough for what I have learned and where it has taken me in my career today. I owe my knowledge of the business side of the Fashion Industry to her. She is such a patient and capable person to teach anyone the skills they would need to succeed in business. You would be honored to have her working with you.
david cunningham - former president of chaps
Very few in the industry understand retail math like Joan Boyd.
