Retail Vanguard was founded by Mignon van der Walt, who brings 25+ years of senior retail and sales leadership experience across Australia’s pharmacy, health and beauty sectors. Before founding Retail Vanguard, that career included direct, hands-on experience with some of Australia’s best-known Health & FMCG brands, including MCoBeauty, Nude by Nature, Chemist Own and Ferro-Grad.
That first-hand experience – knowing what a retailer actually needs to see before they’ll range a product, and what it costs to get there – is what Retail Vanguard now brings to every brand it works with.
