About Angela

Angela Chan - Danisi is a strategic advisor to CEO-founders, startup teams, and investment partners in the retail, apparel, fashion technology, and manufacturing industries. A former C-level executive with global leadership experience, Angela now works one-on-one with early-stage startups and scaling consumer brands to bring clarity, structure, and speed to growth.

With a career spanning over 30 years, Angela has led transformations at every level — from turning around multinational supply chains to building brands from concept to shelf. As the founder of her own apparel business, she spent over a decade growing it from the ground up — designing collections, opening 11 retail locations, serving more than 2,000 wholesale customers, and dressing Hollywood celebrities along the way.

Angela was also the first Asian American female CEO of a 150-year-old French textile company, overseeing 30+ P&Ls across 40 countries, and previously served as Chief Sourcing Officer for a public U.S. retailer.

Today, she partners directly with startup founders and investment firms (VCs and PE) to strengthen operations, prepare for capital raises, and accelerate scale. Her clients value her rare blend of executive-level insight and hands-on problem-solving — a combination that helps companies move with purpose, precision, and confidence.
