About Louise Henwood

Product Strategy Consultant at Louise Henwood Product Strategy Consultant

Hi, I’m Louise. A product strategy, merchandising, and commercialization leader with 18+ years of experience across premium retail, DTC, and wholesale brands including lululemon, Monos, and Saje.

My background sits at the intersection of product, operations, merchandising, and go-to-market execution. Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional commercialization processes, assortment and growth strategies, product lifecycle planning, and operational scaling initiatives for founder-led and high-growth brands.

I’m especially passionate about helping teams and emerging leaders navigate the realities of scaling product-based businesses - from product roadmapping and forecasting to launch planning, retail expansion, and organizational operating cadence.

I enjoy mentoring people interested in merchandising, commercialization, retail operations, product strategy, DTC growth, and cross-functional leadership, particularly within consumer and lifestyle brands.
