Nan partners with CEOs, owners, and leadership teams across the jewelry industry to turn merchandising into a strategic growth driver. Through her proprietary 5 P's of Merchandising™, Product, Price, Place, People, and Presentation, Nan brings together data and design, strategy and purpose, to create greater clarity, stronger profitability, and intentional growth.


With 25 years in the industry and a decade leading FACEts Consulting, Nan works at the intersection of merchandising strategy, consumer psychology, product development, brand positioning, and retail transformation. Her portfolio spans more than 40 brands, from independent retailers and designers to international manufacturers and retail conglomerates, across both the commercial and luxury sectors.
Before founding FACEts, she helped launch and grow major brands at Macy's Inc., including Effy®, Triton®, and Chocolate Diamonds® by Le Vian®. As Senior Retail Buyer at David Yurman, she led merchandising strategy for key product launches and campaigns including Meteorite, Streamline®, Petrvs®, Shelby Cobra Timepiece, and Cable Reimagined.

A frequent industry speaker and published trade contributor, Nan brings a practical, real-world perspective to merchandising discipline, consumer behavior, market trends, and the evolving jewelry landscape.


Fun Fact: Nan and her husband, Dave, are the proud “Head Wranglers” of three children, nine activities, and a social calendar that requires its own project manager. They met through Muay Thai boxing, which remains both a shared discipline and a favorite family activity. It continues to shape how they move through life: with focus, resilience, creativity, and the ability to pivot quickly when the plan inevitably changes.
