Let Marilisa Barbieri Accelerate Your Growth

Interior Lighting, Furniture & Home Decor
While working in business development and sales, I had the opportunity to travel to each job site in North America and enable a solution-selling approach to secure projects and generate ROI. I helped my clients (Architects, Interior Designers, and Developers) source style solutions that fit the budget and scope of each project.
Private Jets & Yachts
Managing revenue and brand growth across the private jets and luxury yachts sector led me to forge new and strengthen existing client relationships in this particular niche. Yachts and private jets aren’t just about the seats and the comfort. Each piece selected requires precision, quality, a strong knowledge of the luxury travel industry, the traveler’s journey, and expectations once on board.


Retail, Wholesale, and
E-commerce
Managed the distribution strategy across channels, including retail, wholesale, B2B, shop-in-shop, pop-ups, partnerships, e-boutiques, and e-commerce marketplaces. From negotiating wholesale contracts, pricing, discount structures, and incentives programs to managing existing and established accounts in North America, I developed capabilities to forecast predictable sales each season reducing risks while providing financial security.
Luxury Corporate Gifting
As a Luxury consultant, I helped brands like Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Harry Winston, and MGM Casino & Resorts source corporate gifts for affluent clientele and business partners. While with Christofle, I identified growth opportunities in their niche market, developed ad-hoc collections for different occasions, including the Lunar New Year, and created merchandising guidelines for retail and e-commerce. I’ve added profitable revenue streams and taught how to promote, price, and distribute corporate gifts.


Designers Showhouses
Bringing to life the best of interior design by helping decorators transform luxury homes into elegant exhibitions of fine furnishings and art. Products were featured in the Holiday House, Kips Bay, Mansion in May, and Southern Style Now as well as publications like Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, Interior Design, and House Beautiful. Show houses offer extraordinary exposure to gain recognition and acquire new clients without big investments in marketing.
Luxury Brands Celebrations
Improving clients’ engagement through entertaining pop-up galleries, exhibits, and retrospectives. I organized a retrospective of the Champagne Accessories Exhibit in Soho showcasing over 200 years of history and original designs of the French silversmith Charles Christofle. We planned several initiatives to pay tribute to the rich legacy of Baccarat and the 250 years of the Maison, in conjunction with the opening of the Baccarat Hotel & Residences.


Architecture & Design Events
Throughout my various roles, I often found myself traveling the world to attend international trade shows, present new collections and connect with B2B accounts. These events include the Luxury Yacht & Boat Show in Fort Lauderdale, Il Salone del Mobile, Maison & Object, ICFF, NeoCon, Dining by Design, Art Basel, and more.
