Eric Kim
In the fast-evolving e-commerce landscape, I work to turn market insight into effective strategies that deliver meaningful business results
In a few words, what are the key qualities needed to succeed in your role?
I believe success in the wholesale business goes beyond simply securing supply. It requires the ability to analyze sales data, foster mutual growth with partners, build strong relationships with platform managers, and apply sound commercial judgment. In a fast-moving market, these qualities are essential to delivering sustainable results.
What values guide you most in your professional life?
My core value is adaptability — the ability to navigate constant change and uncertainty.
Since both our company and the e‑commerce industry operate in rapidly changing environments, I believe adaptability is essential for sustainable growth and long‑term success.
Rather than resisting change, I focus on embracing new situations quickly, identifying efficiencies, and turning change into business opportunities.
Can you briefly share your professional journey and what led you to your current role?
I have over ten years of experience in e‑commerce, building a varied career across platform companies and the consumer goods sector. I began in online channel operations, buying, and gradually expanded into digital marketing and e‑commerce strategy. Throughout this journey, I have remained focused on driving data‑driven growth. A strong interest in premium global beauty brought me to Clarins. As Digital Commerce Manager, I now lead our wholesale e‑commerce business—managing key accounts and developing strategic initiatives to strengthen our market presence and deliver sustainable growth.
