About Ute Stauss
Global Licensing & Partnerships Expert,
Brand Builder & Strategic Leader
As a seasoned executive in international licensing and partnerships, I bring more than two decades of experience in various roles across product categories and global markets. My journey began in the dynamic world of fashion and accessories, where I honed my skills in product management and marketing.
During my nearly two decades at Disney, I have driven the expansion of the lifestyle business through innovative licensing strategies tailored to different consumer groups and retail channels, including the ever-evolving e-commerce landscape.
After leaving Disney, I embarked on a new adventure as a business consultant where I directed the development and execution of innovative licensing and retail strategies for companies such as NBC Universal, Formula E and the NFLPA, driving growth and engagement.
As a strategic business consultant, I capitalize on my extensive experience in business development, strategic partnerships and sponsorships to forge new paths to success.
Throughout my career, I have left an imprint on renowned international companies, forming influential relationships and breaking new ground to take brands to new heights. With a relentless passion for innovation and a flair for building win-win collaborations, I continue to redefine excellence in licensing, partnerships and brand building.
