EVERY ANGLE OF RETAIL. ONE THROUGH LINE.
ONE CAREER. EVERY SIDE OF RETAIL.
Amy Schlesinger is the founder of Power Bridge Commerce and one of the few fractional sales executives who has sat on every side of the retail table. She has spent 25 years working every angle of retail — from the buying office to the executive suite, from Amazon to brick-and-mortar, from building her own agency to leading a team through a private equity merger. She’s sat in the buyer’s chair. She knows how a planner needs to forecast. When to liquidate inventory and when to lean in and buy more. The pain points of the warehouse. When to push back in an annual negotiation — and when to lean into a joint business plan. How to convince the C-suite why they should bet on a brand and the story needed to sell product online and in store.
Amy’s depth of knowledge across every aspect of retail is what most fractional sales partners simply do not have.
She had stepped away from her role as President of the e-commerce division at an omni-channel retail agency - where she led brands’ digital go-to-market strategies, grew a team from one to twenty, navigated two acquisitions, and ultimately reimagined the entire division’s profitability model from the inside out. It was a powerful experience. And it gave her something unexpected: clarity.
To Amy the answer was simple and clear. It was time to stop doing work that drained her and focus on work that lights her up.
What fills her cup has always been the same: building relationships, opening doors, getting the yes — and bringing people along for the ride. Paying it forward to the next generation of sales leaders. Coaching and training teams to land wins they didn’t think they could get, develop skills they’ll carry long after the engagement ends, and walk into rooms with a confidence they didn’t have before. That’s not a bonus. That’s the point.
Sales & Business Development has always been her passion and the through line that has shown up at every stop, in every chapter, across every angle of her retail career. Amy has always been the bridge between brands and their next retailer. Between potential and results. Between a junior sales team and the confidence they didn’t know they had. Power Bridge Commerce is where that becomes the whole purpose.
