About Me
My name is Catherine Mirenda and I serve as the driving force behind CMC Retail Strategies. A Vice President at JCPenney, former Group Vice President at Macy’s, and a graduate from the Fashion Institute of Technology where I still serve as an Adjunct Professor, it’s safe to say that I know a thing or two about the fashion and retail business.
More than anything, I understand how hard it can be for smaller retail companies to grow. It’s for this reason that I founded CMC Retail Strategies, a results-driven retail consulting firm that specializes in helping struggling and emerging businesses realize their potential and achieve the success they always hoped for.
By partnering with retail firms as a fractional Chief Operating Officer (COO), I apply my substantial expertise, experience, and insight to create custom-designed strategies that dramatically improve a retailer’s operational performance and profitability.
From improving merchandise planning and optimizing financials to boosting e-commerce and in-store performance, I create retail solutions that generate outstanding results.
More than just improving a retailer’s performance
I seek to re-energize their outlook, instilling a sense of confidence, excitement, and ease in the way they work. By igniting a retail business’ sense of fun and opportunity, it creates an environment that benefits everyone involved, from employees to customers.
With an extensive track record as a retail consultant in the home, apparel, and shoe markets, I have the experience and insight needed to help your business too.
