Fashion Marketing

Founder, Kaicos Swimwear

Describe your position and key responsibilities? 
I am the founder of Kaicos Swimwear, a handmade bikini brand with a Latin vibe. I don’t have one position within the company because I work on everything. I design, coordinate production and distribution, purchase fabric and yarn, do social media marketing and sales, organize events, manage boutique accounts, explore business opportunities for the brand, etc.

The brand is currently sold in boutiques in Peru, Montreal, Florida, New York, and Germany.

What career path did you take? 
I always knew that I wanted to have my own business. After graduating from LaSalle College I did an internship in marketing at a company that makes tailored suits for men. I started working on Kaicos Swimwear as soon as I completed my internship. I travelled to Peru to produce the first collection because the crochet details that I wanted in my bikinis were done by Peruvian artisans. I came back to Montreal and launched my brand in 2017.
