OUR FOUNDER

Francesca Danzi

Francesca Danzi is a business executive and expert facilitator of innovation processes, connecting the dots between customer insight, marketing, retail and technology. Whether working with global brands, marketing agencies or strategy consultancies, she challenges organizations silos and facilitates cross-functional collaboration to bring a vision to life.

Francesca was most recently Chief Client Officer with Tory Burch and covered a range of newly created roles with Burberry prior to that, spearheading the company’s retail digital evolution under Angela Ahrendts and Christopher Bailey.

Francesca looks at digital transformation through the customer lens. I engaged with Danzi Consulting to help inform the digital transformation I was leading at Tory Burch and Francesca became my “partner in crime” for over three years, successfully driving implementation and adoption of key technology solutions for omnichannel retail and customer experience. 

John Douglas – Chief Technology Officer  Gymshark

Francesca truly understands the power of unifying data, relationships and commerce. The Customer One to One platform which we built in-house at Burberry was a game changing app for retail stores and associates. Francesca was instrumental in gathering business requirements, interpreting data and leading multiple business work streams to deliver the project.

Cathy McCabe – CEO Proximity Insight 

The insights provided by the customer experience assessment framework Danzi Consulting created and executed for rag&bone when I was CMO there were exactly what we needed to start the omni-channel transformation of the business.

Johanna Murphy – SVP Consumer Marketing and Global Digital Commerce Michael Kors

 

Francesca brings a humanistic approach to processes, customer experience and innovation. Collaborating with Danzi Consulting in several projects, I have had the chance to appreciate Francesca’s sophisticated understanding of customers and their expectations. Francesca turns data into business solutions that are human-centred and relevant. 

Dr. Federica Carlotto – Director Master Luxury Business Sotheby’s Institute of Art 

 

 Francesca understands how to cultivate and maintain brand equity through elevated customer experience. In a world of retailers and brands competing for short term gains, Francesca kept our team at Tory Burch focused on long-term success.
