The Kollektiv
Strategic Consulting
The footwear industry has grown rapidly over the last 30 years from being a cottage industry to global multi-billion dollar businesses. The growth of the industry has called for specialization to achieve it's goals, but this has been at the expense of many gaining a deeper understanding of the entire supply chain- from front-end sales and marketing to back-end of logistics and manufacturing.

Having grown up in the industry while there was still an opportunity to wear many hats allows us to "connect the dots" in ways that is not widely found in talent today.
