Heritage boot and apparel brand with 65 Australian stores and global wholesale reach
R.M. Williams operates a vertically integrated retail business across boots, apparel, and accessories, with manufacturing anchored in Australia. The tech stack is anchored in Salesforce Commerce Cloud and Adobe tools—paired with operational systems (WMS, CMMS, PLM)—suggesting a brand managing both digital storefront and physical supply chain. Active hiring across operations, sales, and manufacturing, plus a backlog of inventory allocation and store expansion projects, points to a growth phase constrained by operational friction rather than demand.
Notable leadership hires: Creative Lead
