About Candice

I help consumer brands win online. With 10+ years across Amazon, L'Oréal and The LEGO Group, I specialise in turning eCommerce strategy into commercial results - from digital shelf optimisation and retail media to pureplay growth and JBP negotiation. I've managed £60M+ portfolios, scaled brands across major retailers, and built the playbooks that drive real revenue. If you need someone who knows how online retail actually works, and can hit the ground running, that's me.
