“As a student of people and business for over 40 years, I have been focused on the fundamentals of optimal living - integrating ancient wisdom with modern science and practical tools. As a result, I have personally experienced many life enhancing benefits, as you will too if you are willing to do the work! I help people and organizations Optimize, Flourish and Prosper. Serving and supporting to help all, work hard, so we can be our best moment to moment to moment.”
Tim Brown is an experienced brand builder, with extensive executive leadership experience and success in a range of industries across Direct Selling, Retail and Wholesale businesses. He successfully led teams in premium, well-known brands, including Clinique Cosmetics, Christian Dior, Coach, Swarovski, Princess House and Jamie Oliver. Over the past 35 years, Tim has grown, turned around or revitalized many of these brands. From 2006 to 2012, Tim was part owner, President, and CEO of Princess House, Inc., a $150 million Direct to Consumer Company. Tim led the Princess House team from being highly leveraged to 100% debt-free and navigated the organization through the 2008 economic downturn, helping it reach unprecedented levels of growth and profitability. Perhaps the crowning achievement in Tim’s rich branding history was leading the Swarovski team that achieved, as noted by the Wall Street Journal, “the kind of product placement positioning marketers dream about – at the top of the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. Naming the 9-1/2 foot star, The Swarovski Star, was the first time in Rockefeller Center’s 70 year history that a corporate sponsor claimed this spot”.
Most recently, he formed a partnership with celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and Jamie’s UK team to create and launch Jamie Oliver At Home - Jamie’s first business targeting the US market. Now, Tim enjoys bringing his experience and expertise along with his Optimize Coaching and Sandler Training knowledge to help individuals and organizations learn, grow and develop personal and organizational excellence.
