Marisa Senekal

I help retailers ensure the right items are available in the right quantities, at the right time, and in the right locations to improve forecast accuracy, maintain healthier inventory levels, and maximise profitability.

I help retailers, wholesalers and e-commerce businesses, from start-ups to established large companies, to:

- Improve or set up merchandise planning templates and processes. We offer training and hand everything back, so your team stays independent. Alternatively, we can continue to manage the process for you, without the cost of a full-time hire.

- Support on a short-term basis for busy periods, interim cover, and maternity or parental leave cover.

My career spans the full planning cycle across stores, wholesale, and e-commerce, across menswear, womenswear, and kidswear, and footwear, apparel, and accessories.

I hold a Masters in Consumer Science (Clothing Retail Management) from the University of Pretoria, and I am currently completing my PhD in Consumer Science at Pretoria.

I hold both South African and Dutch nationality. All engagements are remote-first, which means geography is not a barrier. On-site visits can be arranged in South Africa and the Netherlands, and periodically elsewhere by arrangement.
