About Wizz Selvey
I'm the founder of WIZZ&CO, a retail strategy and consumer insights consultancy that helps brands scale with confidence through smarter commercial strategy, retail partnerships and consumer insight.
Before founding WIZZ&CO, I spent over 20 years in retail, including leading a multi-million-pound beauty business as Head of Buying at Selfridges, where I worked across beauty, accessories, lifestyle and fashion. Since then, I've advised retailers including Ocado, NEXT, Sainsbury’s and Fenwick, alongside global consumer brands and high-growth founders looking to accelerate growth through both retail and direct-to-consumer channels.
I've experienced retail from both sides of the table. As Sales Director for Cowshed and Soho Home, I launched and managed retail partnerships with John Lewis, Liberty, Space NK, and MR PORTER. More recently, as Co-founder of Valerie, I've built and launched into retailers including Liberty and Holland & Barrett, giving me first-hand experience of what it takes to build, pitch and scale a modern consumer brand.
During my buying career, I was pitched to thousands of times and managed hundreds of brands simultaneously, making commercial decisions every day about which brands to back, how to maximise sales and how to turn around underperforming businesses. That experience gives me a unique perspective on what retailers are really looking for and why some brands secure listings while others don't.
Today, I combine that experience to help brands navigate retail, build stronger buyer relationships and create the commercial foundations needed to scale successfully.
