Natalie Massenet, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Imaginary Ventures and Founder of Net-A-Porter, will join as a board member and strategic partner driving European expansion and growth of the fashion and luxury retail markets. Managing Partner Mark Dzialga of Brighton Park Capital will also assume a seat on the board and contribute his expertise in helping companies execute against their global ambitions and within payments and marketplace.
“I have seen first hand how slowly the fashion and retail industry adapts to change without a tipping point, and this past year has been another critical inflection point for many,” said Natalie Massenet, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Imaginary Ventures. “There has been much focus over the last few decades on the consumer end of retail, but little advancement in the ways the industry operates behind the scenes. NuORDER has built the much-needed technology to power wholesale, buying, merchandising and now payments, providing businesses with digital tools to work efficiently and profitably in a rapidly changing consumer and retail landscape. Imaginary Ventures is proud to back NuORDER and I am delighted to join the board of directors to help guide the company as it enters into this next phase of growth.”
“NuORDER has digitally transformed the wholesale buying and selling process for leading global brands and retailers,” said Mark Dzialga, CEO and Managing Partner of Brighton Park. “As the consumer landscape continues to evolve, this investment reflects Brighton Park’s strong belief in NuORDER’s talented team, and differentiated platform revolutionizing retail merchandising, payments, and visualization. We look forward to leveraging our investment expertise to support the company’s long-term growth and success.”
