Lisa DeFelice

Lisa DeFelice serves as Head of Operations and Head of Supply Chain at Redone, an apparel company based in Glendale, California. She entered the industry in 2000 after developing an interest in fashion design and costume design, which led her to learn sewing and secure her first role in New York working in production and running a sample room. In her current position, she manages the full supply chain funnel, including oversight of manufacturing with overseas vendors, inbound shipping, warehousing, B2B wholesale shipments to partners such as Nordstrom, and direct-to-customer online orders. She also handles operational needs for retail stores and warehouses, tracks costs and budgets as a major cost center, and works with carriers like UPS and FedEx. Previously, she held similar roles at Bento. DeFelice emphasizes clear communication with investors and leadership to align on vision and advises young women entering fashion that the industry is not as glamorous as portrayed and to remain true to themselves without letting the environment change their character.
