Strategic Connections

Soozan Baxter Consulting was brought on by the managing director of retail in spring 2023 to help amplify relationships with both contemporary and luxury brands, resulting in more than 50 introductions and tours directly with impactful brands during her almost three-year engagement. Soozan Baxter was able to strengthen the owner’s relationship with Kering by procuring powerful fragrance brand Creed (prior to its sale to L’Oréal), the company’s first deal with the company. She also introduced Richemont to ownership resulting in Van Cleef & Arpels bringing its annual Fifth Avenue Blooms floral takeover to the campus.
