ABOUT ASHLEY
Perhaps it was her wild imagination as a kid that led her to believe that Kenny Rogers was her imaginary friend or some creative juice that lived deep inside, that later led her to start building The Boutique Hub, the world’s largest boutique fashion community. Either way, there’s never a dull moment.
Pairing her love of fashion, turquoise and shoes she found at boutiques around the world, together with her background in retail, marketing and economic development, Ashley lives daily to serve entrepreneurs in the fashion retail industry. She is a coach, speaker and mentor, who loves working daily with her team at The Boutique Hub and thousands of boutique owners, brands and insiders to find strategies to grow their brands and business.
