GLORIA BARUDY VASQUEZ

"SUCCESSFUL WOMEN" Part.1

Since joining NATAN in 2005, Gloria Barudy Vasquez has risen through the ranks to become General Manager. Her journey at NATAN began when she became sales manager for the NATAN Edition 5 collection. The following year, Mr. Edouard Vermeulen asked her to be the link between sales and design. One thing led to another and the position evolved until they became a duo and she became his right-hand woman. Her responsibility is to supervise the teams on a daily basis, the commercial team, the pattern making, the stylists but also the follow-up and control of the budgets of the NATAN house. It is a 360° function. She also manages the wholesale department, being in contact with multi-brand stores. This allows her to stay in touch with those in the field, giving her an open mind about the brand, sales, customers, compared to the 'flagiship stores'. What stimulates Ms. Barudy Vasquez today is to think that she is lucky enough to be able to turn her passion into a profession.
