Laia Palau

buyer, Product Manager, and Retailer in Barcelona, España

Currently the head of the men's purchasing department, in charge of menswear, sleepwear, footwear and accessories at Pyrénées Department Store. I have developed my skills in the Spanish market and in many different International Markets (Italy, London, New York, Andorra, France, Egypt, Kuwait, Lebanon and Arabia Saudi)

In order to understand more deeply the mechanisms of the developing and success of companies related to those issues, I have done a Master in International Retail (sponsored by ESCI Business School - Pompeu Fabra University).

The idea is improving yourself every day, be open-minded and look around you. I love challenges this is the reason I have specialized in Retail Business.

I define myself as an enthusiast and passionate in everything I do in order to achieve my goals in the most efficient and creative but logical way. Through my different work experiences in several fields I developed strong organizational and analytical skills

My career has taught me to be patient but demanding, to discern between important and accessory, and that commitment and honesty are the basis of a good personal and professional relationship.

I am also a passionate about the Fashion, Beauty, Communication, Sports, Luxury, Marketing and Retail Industry, with which I always tried to be linked personally and professionally. I love travel, discover and learn.
