As the global leader of McKinsey’s Apparel, Fashion & Luxury Practice, Gemma partners with companies and their executives on holistic transformations to accelerate sustainable growth and create lasting change in performance and health. With over two decades of consulting expertise across the United States, Middle East, and Europe, she helps clients with holistic growth strategies, advanced analytics and digital transformations, and capability building at scale.

Gemma is passionate about fostering leadership growth, enhancing customer experience, and driving innovation. She regularly publishes knowledge and insights relevant to the retail and fashion/luxury sectors. This includes leading and co-authoring McKinsey’s annual State of Fashion report—published in collaboration with Business of Fashion—and the annual Sporting Goods Industry report.

As one of the global leaders for our CEO excellence work, Gemma collaborates closely with CEOs on their leadership journey to ensure their organizations are “fit for purpose” in terms of operating model, capabilities, and leadership skills.

Before joining McKinsey, she worked in the Investment Banking division of JP Morgan in London.

Gemma’s curiosity has led her to different parts of the world (from Europe to the United States and the Middle East), and she now resides in Italy with her husband and four children. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, reading, and working out.
