Danielle Melki - Global Partnership Manager, Middle East

Danielle is the Global Partnership Manager at WE are COCO for the Middle East. Before moving to London, she used to work in Lebanon in marketing & sales, in charge of developing strategic relationships with key accounts. She speaks three languages which has helped her build even more solid business relationships especially across the Middle East and French speaking countries.

Throughout her career, Danielle worked in the marketing department of a renowned international fashion designer and this is where she fell in love with the fashion world! She was deeply involved in all the ‘’behind-the-curtain’ work; organising fashion shows, developing PR relationships with the media and influencers, working on celebrity endorsements and building strategic relationships with partners.

This made her passionate about finding new strategies to help fashion brands thrive, and this is how she found herself at WE are COCO.

With an eye for identifying emerging fashion brands with huge potential, Danielle works on discovering promising brands and working with them to help them grow, through consulting and connecting them with senior buyers working at the biggest retailers.

When she isn’t on the lookout for promising designers or working on matching brands with retailers, Danielle will probably be buried in a book or at the park with her husband and their baby!
