Initiating our journey in 2008, Muller and Associates ventured into the global luxury and retail industry. We brought a broader perspective from having worked outside the industry and this provided valuable perspective: Luxury retail can be a closed and somewhat incestuous industry that recycles the same candidates from fashion house to fashion house. We have sourced talent for our retail clients from completely untapped industries such as banking, telecoms, FMCG and hospitality, while also providing them with the best from within the luxury industry when necessary. We bring exceptional retail talent into our client’s organisations and successfully help integrate new faces that have thrived in this exciting industry. Recognizing the digital revolution that defines 2023, we’re also at the forefront of connecting our clients with the tech-savvy minds they need to thrive in this era.
We’ve successfully filled roles spanning Europe, the UK, USA, and various Asian regions — including Hong Kong, China, Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan.
Delving deep into the nuances of both fast fashion and luxury realms, we’re adept at discerning the diverse corporate cultures, whether it’s expansive listed fashion conglomerates or intimate family-owned ventures.
Our expertise shines in understanding consumer trends, digital innovation, and millennial engagement within the retail and luxury segments. From Customer Insight and eCommerce to marketing and clientele roles, our clients entrust us with their pivotal positions.
We have extended our consumer reach to the high-end hotel and food services industries. We have helped them find tech savvy strategic leaders — an essential asset in today’s fiercely competitive market landscape.

Muller and Associates’ deep expertise in consumer specialization naturally led us to the intricate and ever-changing world of the alcoholic beverage industry. While our involvement in emerging industries often revolves around identifying the ideal leadership, the alcoholic sector presents its unique nuances. Although many default to seeking talent from the consumer packaged goods domain, we recognize the stark contrasts between, for instance, marketing wine and a premium vodka.
Muller and Associates are proud to have brought a more lateral view as to what works in this business and the untapped opportunities for leadership talent. Especially in the realm of joint ventures, we’ve observed frequent failures — with leaders often chosen for wrong reasons. This industry, teeming with potential, stands to benefit significantly from our value-driven approach.
Sectors we have worked in include:
- C-Suite Commercial Distribution: Spirits, Wine, and Champagne.
- C-Suite Leadership in Still Wines and Champagne.
- CEO for JV with Celebrity Partnerships.
- CEO of Brands/Maisons.
