Large retail brands are gaining access to new international and untapped markets such as onboard cruise lines, in duty-free cruise travel, and airports, which offers alluring opportunities to drive retail sales growth.

"Since 2007, AOG has led dozens of clients with corporate transformations, international sales expansion and product strategy involving the cruise industry, hospitality, cruise ports, travel retail and aviation industry.  We led Cole Haan to grow sales revenues and develop new partner strategies. Over the last four years years, I have enjoyed managing the many distribution partners, reporting P&L performance and creating localized marketing for each Country.  I launched e-commerce, a new digital platform for the first time in these developing regions during the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing our client and the distribution partners to enjoy online revenues when stores closed during the pandemic, said Douglas Diggle, President & CEO of Across Oceans Group, Inc."
