Hello,
I’m Bridget John
Business & brand builder, startup advisor, founder and entrepreneur.
🌏 I’m an Aussie based in London, with home bases in Melbourne and Marrakech.
I’ve spent the last two decades living, working and building ventures of all sizes around the world - from my home town of Melbourne, to London, to the Basque Coast of France and Morocco.
I spent the first 15 years of my career working for global lifestyle brands and major fashion retailers across Australia, Asia Pacific, the UK and Europe.
Including previously Global Trade Marketing Director at Quiksilver, Roxy & DC - the iconic surf, skate and outdoor lifestyle brands.
Leading go-to-market strategy, teams and operations, opening flagship retail stores, launching global brand campaigns, and rolling out trade and retail marketing programs - Globally, regionally and locally.
And visual merchandising, brand and retail marketing management roles for 20-200+ door major fashion retailers like Just Jeans, Ozmosis and French Connection.
🌏 A traveller at heart with an entrepreneurial spirit
In 2016 I took the entrepreneurial leap to start my own brand consultancy, and launched Nouvelle Nomad - a sustainability led homewares, travel and lifestyle brand and ecommerce retailer based between Marrakech, Morocco and Melbourne, Australia.
It’s been a wild ride over the last 8 years building a business from the ground up, creating a life across borders, opening pop-up retail showrooms and collaborating with some incredible people and brands along the way.
While my background is in big brands and major international retailers, my heart lies in purpose driven business, deep immersive travel experiences, and helping founder led startups to build, launch and grow their adventurous ideas.
My startup mentoring and advisory services are for the creatives, the visionary founders and the entrepreneurs who have gone against the grain, and out on a limb to build their own thing.
And my fractional brand leadership services are for helping established businesses and global brands to launch something new, scale globally, or grow into new regions and markets.
Giving back to environmental causes and non-profits along the way with my membership with 1% for the Planet - I prioritise working with businesses that are challenging the norm and leading change in their field.
If you’ve got an adventurous brand, project or idea to work on together I’d love to hear from you.
And if you’re ever in the same part of the world as me - say hello!
