Under Swati's leadership, Bolly Boutique has successfully partnered with local upcycle fashion designers, such as Make+Matter, to create a vibrant marketplace that not only supports the community but also educates consumers on the importance of sustainable practices. Her operational acumen, honed during her 20-year tenure with The Wall Street Journal/Dow Jones, enables her to build an agile team capable of navigating the complexities of a competitive market. Swati's commitment to social responsibility is evident in her ability to blend hospitality consulting with effective program administration, ensuring that every aspect of Bolly Boutique resonates with the values of sustainability and community engagement.
Through her critical thinking and solution-selling skills, Swati is not only driving new business development but also enhancing the organization’s marketing strategies to reach a broader audience. Her passion for entrepreneurship and talent management is instrumental in onboarding dedicated team members who share her vision for a more sustainable future in fashion.
