Brands must make the right moves to ensure that when their founders leave, the magic doesn't go with them.

Imran Amed sits down with the luxury e-commerce site's co-founder and CEO to discuss plans to enter the Chinese market and capitalise on the 'crystal ball' of data.

BoF’s Imran Amed sat down with Moda Operandi chief executive Ganesh Srivats and chief brand officer Lauren Santo Domingo at the BoF China Summit to discuss their growth plan to scale sustainably in China.

Moda Operandi filled the lucrative retail gap between runway and bargain bin. Now its CEO is targeting China.

Srivats, who spent 10 years at Burberry before his stint at the automaker, joins the luxury e-commerce company on August 1.

The luxury e-tailer will support young labels with marketing and product strategy while developing a design and manufacturing network.

From Rent the Runway to Refinery 29, BoF separates the break-outs from the flameouts.

With a foundation in straight-off-the-runway trunk show sales, the retailer is eyeing a global network of luxury showrooms and new categories such as fine jewellery, which has grown 190 percent year-on-year.
