“Leadership is everything. Without vision and creativity, innovation cannot take place - and without innovation, it is almost impossible to meet the demands of consumers, which are increasing and changing every day.” - Karen Harvey KHC is an international advisory services firm with deep multi-industry expertise and an extraordinary network. With offices in New York and London, we partner with leading companies in their search for world-class talent, modern organization design and brand development strategies that serve today’s complex business needs. Our approach dismantles the divides between disciplines and industries, supporting leaders in new ways of working, thinking and remaining relevant for the future. Founded and led by entrepreneur Karen Harvey, known for her ability to see around corners and predict industry trends, our advisory services work has become equally important to our renowned practice, placing top talent. In 2012, we recognized a rapidly evolving world where fashion and retail leaders needed a bridge to the technology sector, to mitigate their disparate approaches and improve their ability to innovate together. In the process of education, immersion and determining how we could play a role, we reshaped our business. We expanded our network with new talent, exceptional leaders and powerful ideas that when applied with a strategic lens, could reinvent traditional business. This then led to the launch of our industry leading platforms, Fashion Tech Forum and INDX. Today, FTF creates a space for visionaries, innovators and those driving the conversation across industries and culture. INDX connects emerging creatives with progressive brands for employment opportunities and knowledge sharing partnerships.
