Vikesh Shah, Commercial Director, Metail
Commercial Director
Metail
Vikesh will be the first to admit he's never really had a passion for fashion! However, he was attracted to Metail's vision of making clothing fit for all after realising that apparel is one of those rare things which is needed by everyone on our planet.   Prior to Metail, Vikesh graduated from University of Cambridge after managing to study four subjects during his three years there, before continuing his jack of trades trend by going on to become a strategy consultant with the international firm L.E.K. Consulting.   Three years later, Vikesh swapped Excel and Powerpoint for skis as he moved to Utah to work at a ski resort, before returning back to London in 2012 to find an exciting challenge.  Helping to make clothing fit for all felt like a suitably large problem!   As Commercial Director, Vikesh on one hand helps clothing companies to develop engaging new experiences for customers, by allowing them to try on clothes online.  On the other hand, he helps businesses to create new efficiencies, such as removing the need to photograph clothes on models and harness the new insights generated from customers trying on clothes online.
