Bio
Romain Magri
Jean-Michel is one of the most talented shoe designer in the industry. He knows the luxury footwear market like no one else, and he is the kind of guy you want to work with. Passionate about his work with always an avant-garde mindest, JM has been a game changer for any brands he worked with. Hope our path will cross again !!

Few people have the opportunity to report to an employer who is also a coach and mentor—but I did when I worked for Jean-Michel Cazabat. I had the pleasure of working for Jean-Michel for two years as his Senior Account Executive. I was always in awe of his ability to command a room and get people on board with ideas—even people who were initially on completely different pages. Oh, and when time afforded, he always made sure to prepare the freshest and most delicious lunches. Talk about motivation! Jean-Michel is one-of-a-kind, and any company would be lucky to have him as a part of their team.
