Umbrex is pleased to welcome George Nahra with GZN Consulting.  George spent four years in the Chicago office of McKinsey, in the retail and sales & marketing practices, serving predominantly retailers and other consumer-facing clients.

After leaving McKinsey, he spent several years as a Senior Management Associate at Bridgewater Associates. He then returned to retail, re-joining Abercrombie & Fitch (where he started his career several years earlier) and building the company’s first Strategic Planning function.

He then move to Chico’s FAS, a women’s apparel/accessories retailer with three principal brands: Chico’s, White House I Black Market, and Soma.  At Chico’s FAS,  George led Strategy, Business Development, and International.

George has been an independent consultant twice – once between working for Abercrombie and Chico’s, and most recently since roughly December 2019.  He serves retailers across a wide range of topics.

George lives in Fort Myers,  FL, with his wife and dog. He’d be happy to collaborate on any retail projects
