I help startup founders scale smarter — with real-world strategy, operational clarity, and leadership that actually gets things done.
Hi, I’m Angela Chan-Danisi — a founder, former CEO, and strategic advisor to startups, scaling brands, and the VC and PE firms that power them.
Over the past 30+ years, I’ve built and led businesses across fashion, retail, apparel manufacturing, and fashion technology. I founded and grew my own apparel brand to 10+ retail stores and 2,000+ wholesale customers, dressed Hollywood celebrities, and later served as CEO of a global textile company and Chief Sourcing Officer for a public retailer managing 40+ international markets.
Today, I work directly with CEO-founders and leadership teams to help them:
• Build operational foundations that scale
• Navigate sourcing, supply chain, and product strategy
• Prepare for fundraising, growth, or major transitions
• Lead with confidence through every stage of the journey
If you’re building the future of fashion, retail, or consumer product — I’m here to help you build it right.
