My Time at Brookwood Companies

At Brookwood Companies, I excelled in leadership, strategy, and creative direction despite the challenges of working within an industry traditionally lacking a modern marketing structure. I pioneered the development of Brookwood’s e-commerce platform, bringing the company into the digital age and expanding our market presence. My strategic integration of MultiCam, a brand known for its stringent protections, showcased my ability to manage complex brand relationships while preserving Brookwood’s identity. Additionally, I helped the launch of a PFAS-free fabric line, positioning Brookwood as a sustainability leader. I effectively managed a creative team, driving successful campaigns that fueled business growth.

• E-Commerce Development: I led the creation and launch of Brookwood’s first e-commerce platform, enabling customers to directly purchase in-stock fabrics online. This significantly expanded the company’s market reach by transforming how its inventory is accessed. Unlike most U.S. textile manufacturers—who typically do not stock fabric for wholesale or retail—Brookwood maintains a comprehensive inventory of its own manufactured and sourced fabrics, available as roll goods to wholesalers, fabric cutters, and retailers. Recognizing this unique market position, I built the e-commerce infrastructure to capitalize on it—streamlining sales and opening new revenue channels. In 2024, Brookwood’s stock program generated approximately $63 million in revenue.
