Hannah is currently a Principal at Celestial Capital and former Head of Global Strategic Operations at C Space and an international M&A attorney turned fashion retail executive, who has studied and worked in Europe, Asia and North America. As an attorney, she primarily advised luxury brands seeking to enter the Asian market at a time of exponential growth in the sector.

At the legendary fast-fashion giant, she held a series of roles, notably leading the implementation of RFID technology across all UK Zara stores, and went on to lead the Inditex group’s global omni-channel strategy, connecting the online world with the offline for all 8 portfolio brands. To complement her experience with the behemoth fashion group she then jumped on board with a high-growth, direct to consumer apparel brand, Knixwear, as COO.
Since Knixwear, Hannah has been applying her broad experience of apparel companies large and small, to retail technology start-ups. By assisting such companies in developing their digital and go-to-market strategies, she fuses existing best practices with future technical advancements across the retail sector.
