Do your leaders love what they do? Despite this, is something out of balance – are they no longer thriving in their role? In an era of constant change, the demands of a complex corporate environment can overwhelm even the highest performers.
Using innovative coaching techniques, we work together with individuals to build resilient leadership at its starting point – from within. The result is confident, highly effective, passionate leaders with the tools to deliver long-term success.
From my first Saturday job in a premium fashion store at the age of 15, to the leadership of complex global projects at HUGO BOSS and FURLA, I have dedicated myself to the luxury and lifestyle sector for more than two decades.
Time and again, I have witnessed the key to long-term, sustainable success in retail: the power, passion, and resilience of people.
Both as Global Project Manager at HUGO BOSS and Retail Director at FURLA, I achieved outstanding business results when I was equally committed to both operational retail excellence, and to the personal development of my leaders and their teams.
I am convinced that in today’s complex retail environment, a people-centered approach is more important than ever before. This is why I founded CHRISTINA HORVAT CONSULTING. Together with my network of experts, we achieve exceptional outcomes through a highly personal service. Our mission is to ensure that your business thrives, even during times of change.

Our certified coaching and training techniques are paired with extensive hands-on experience – countless sessions for individuals and teams, more than 2,000 store consultations, and the leadership of some 500 retail employees. We work in English, German, and Italian.
Success is personal, and our starting point is always the individual. We accompany you throughout your journey to Retail Resilience, and look forward to seeing you surpass even your own highest expectations.
I have known Christina since day one of her professional retail career, when I hired her to work at HUGO BOSS. Today, she definitely ranks among the top retail executives in Europe. I could not think of anyone better than Christina to become partner, lead trainer and coach at the Retail Excellence Academy. If you are looking for someone to help your retail business excel, she should be your choice.
I worked with Christina for many years in an ever-changing and complex retail environment. I was always impressed with her diligent leadership skills and ability to thrive in a demanding and complex role. Her style and resilience energized me both professionally and personally.

I am incredibly grateful to Christina for her wonderful work. She put me as an individual at the heart of the coaching process, and I felt understood and supported throughout. Step by step, my fear dissolved and my inner strength and self-belief grew. Thanks to my work with Christina, I am now ready to take the next steps in my retail career.

Christina is pure power paired with overwhelming charm and a vast skillset. For someone like me, who considers herself a tough cookie, Christina offered a wonderful combination of having both a firm grip on me and a calm, reassuring style. This enabled me to go down paths that lead to the visionary breakthroughs and success I desired. If you are skeptical about the benefits and rewards of coaching, I recommend working with Christina to change your mind.
