Portrait of Renske Lambert

In the last two decades I've specialised in designing and developing foresight intelligence for strategic direction.

Moving between senior leadership seats at large brands and retailers across Europe and Asia, with a recurring objective being strategic transformation, my experience spans foresight research and strategy, building brand identity, creative concept, collection design & development, sustainability strategy, and team management.
