Karen Noronha

I have been based in Dubai for the past seven years and have category, buying and brand management experience covering the domestic market and Travel Retail across the UAE and GCC. During my career I have had the opportunity to manage International Fashion and luxury brands. I pursued a role with the Dufry Group, the largest travel retailer where I managed a portfolio comprising of fashion ready to wear brands, handbags, accessories, small leather goods, Jewelry and watches. In 2013 I joined Paris Gallery, a local luxury retailer to manage brands from fragrances and cosmetics within Travel Retail before transferring to manage a portfolio of Brands within our own Paris Gallery Flagship Stores. A few of the brands that I have managed consist of: Hugo Boss, Pal Zileri, Armani Jeans, Guess, Montblanc, Swarovski, Omega, Rado, Givenchy and Makeup Forever.
