Bogdan Amihaesei

Good experience in managing stock clearance and liquidation of food and non food products on different projects in Europe and Worldwide.

I have also been involved numerous times in FF&E selling process, occasions where I managed to engage new customers and build long term relations with those.

As retail consultant, I have experienced projects where I had to manage single locations and also multi sites projects, with up to 15 stores being managed at the same time.

During pandemic I have successfully managed to close and liquidate 4 hypermarkets /supermarkets remotely for a project in Indonesia, experience that had a massive contribution in my future career growth.

My retail consultant career so far gave me the opportunity to understand and gain experience with almost every type of customer and product, from fashion ( Forever 21, Bonita & Orsay Project) to supermarket projects ( Dairy Farm Indonesia, Tesco -Poland, Dairy Farm Malaysia and Real - Germany) , to department stores projects ( Galeria Karstadt 2020 & 2023 Phase 1 & 2), to DIY project ( B&Q Ryad -Middle East project) to household & furniture projects (Laura Ashley, Depot, Blokker) and many more.
