“One key lesson I’ve learned is the importance of adaptability and flexibility. In the fast-paced and constantly changing retail and consumer industry, the ability to pivot and adjust plans in response to new information or shifting circumstances is essential. Being open to change, ready to adapt and solve problems with ever more creative solutions ensures that projects stay on track and continue to meet evolving client and market needs.”
