Roy Luwolt

As a child of an American diplomat, Roy grew up journeying over 45 countries, lending him a unique perspective on both business and world affairs, particularly with regards to the nuances and dynamics of human psychology per consumer behaviour. On graduating from the revered Eli Broad College of Business, Michigan State University, Roy began his career as a luxury brand strategist. Working with FORBES500 and FTSE 100 corporations disciplined in Politics, Wealth Asset Management, Strategic Partnerships, and Direct-to-Consumer Fashion, he brought thought-leadership, asset accountability, and equities negotiation to leading brands and products, and global campaigns. As Founder and Managing Director, Roy brings his panoply of international economics and a keen savvy of the luxury sector – garnered at organisations including ABC Television, Microsoft, Young&Rubicam, and WPP – to the launch and expansion of Malone Souliers. In his academic persuasion that consumer leads producer, his strategic governance of the business highlights his persistence that, amid the noise, the consumer yet speaks, and the industry best attend. Since the establishment of Malone Souliers in 2014, the young luxury footwear label has enjoyed a stratospheric growth of over 250 luxury points of sale across the world, and aims to continue the unprecedented growth in 2017, marking its third year of trading.
