Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJean Sabatier is an experienced omnichannel commerce executive with over 26 years in television home shopping and 14 years of senior leadership driving planning, programming, merchandising and sales analytics. As EVP of Broadcast Sales at Jewelry Television and former Chief Commerce Officer at iMedia/ShopHQ, he has led turnarounds that stabilized EBITDA, improved margins, and rebalanced merchandising mixes across multiple networks and international markets. He combines rigorous financial discipline (MBA in Finance) with hands-on operational fixes—re-engineering planning processes, introducing KPI-driven dashboards, and launching digital touchpoints like SMS and web programming to monetize audiences. A practiced consultant to European and U.S. retailers, he’s delivered rapid inventory reductions, margin gains and customer-growth levers through channel-mix optimization and targeted promotional frameworks. Known for building high-performing teams and codifying repeatable sales recipes, he thrives in ambiguity and crisis, translating detailed analytics into clear commercial action. Unusually for a retail executive, he also brings military-trained leadership as a Reserve Officer in the French Air Force, shaping his decisive, process-oriented management style.
