Angelica Spata Sergi
London
Summary
Twenty years building and running production and supply chain across luxury and premium fashion. Italian-British, London-based. Strength is operational: deep product knowledge across costing, making and lead times; command of trading conditions; and the critical-path discipline that turns a creative brief into delivered product. Fluent across categories - career built through Nike EMEA, Burberry, director roles at Temperley London and Safiyaa, and current consultancy with Phoebe Philo and Caramel Baby & Child. Track record includes lifting Temperley's on-time delivery from 70% to 98.8%, reducing operations cost base by 10%, opening Safiyaa's Lithuanian manufacturing hub from scratch, and leading two brands through Brexit operational readiness without commercial disruption.
