Cristina McAloon
Retail Merchandising & Brand Strategy
Cristina has been working in the retail industry for 20+ years, getting her start in buying for fashion brands such as The Limited, Aeropostale, and Ralph Lauren. Most recently, for the last seven years, she has been diving into the sports licensing world bringing product strategies to life across multiple leagues.
Cristina has been fortunate to partner with teams such as the Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago Bulls, and the Las Vegas Raiders on assortment, marketing, and brand initiatives that drive profitability and increase market share. Building an authentic connection with the consumer through all aspects of retail is the goal – no matter the sector, channel, or platform. It’s fast-paced, ever-evolving, collaborative, and rewarding. Cristina says “I am nothing but grateful to be part of an industry I adore, while advocating and supporting the incredible talent within it.”
