More About Your Mentor
Lori Cappadona
Merchandising Executive
Jordan Alliance Group
I am merchandising executive with over 25 years of experience in management and
retail/wholesale merchandising for large global brands including Tommy Hilfiger, Converse,
Nike and PVH. My core specialties are merchandising strategies, product lifecycle
management, assortment optimization, team development and process implementation
Throughout my career, I have achieved success with an entrepreneurial spirit utilizing a creative
and analytical approach to translate insight to data and build merchandise strategies that
deliver best-in-class sales, inventory, and margin results. I have been recognized for exceptional
leadership and successfully spearheaded change management for multiple brands through
cross functional collaboration to optimize efficiencies and productivity. On a personal level, I
have a passion for mentoring and developing individuals to maximize their performance and
potential for development and succession.
In addition to my corporate career, I also owned and operated a small retail boutique where I
was able to utilize my expertise in merchandising, marketing and retail management to grow
the business +15% in the first year. Being a small business owner was a very rewarding
experience.
I was born and raised in NJ where I attended Monmouth University and earned a Bachelor of
Science in Business Administration. I reside in Verona, NJ with my two children and enjoy
traveling, gardening, and exercising outdoors.
