Bio
Chase Sagum
A rare attribute (in my opinion) of brand leaders is the ability to constantly lead a brand through a journey of reinventing itself, including leading others within the company on that same journey. This rare attribute is something that Kilee has. It's rare. I know because I interact with so many brand leaders. But Kilee has it. And what she has been able to do with the growth and evolution of Nickel & Suede has been absolutely incredible to watch and to be a part of.
