Vlad started his career in the apparel manufacturing industry over 25 years ago and currently serves as President of Creative Worldwide, LLC. His worldwide production experience, from Brooklyn to Guangzhou, has been pivotal in establishing Creative Worldwide’s overseas production, and he takes great pride in ensuring that every standard is met from concept to final product.

After graduating, he expanded his skill set by running production for several domestic sweater factories across the US. He joined Creative Worldwide, LLC (formerly Casual Cool Inc.) as Production Manager and was quickly promoted to Vice President of Production, overseeing all quality, compliance, and factory-related activities.

Vlad's background in Information Technology helped him design and develop a proprietary PO System used by multiple companies and factories worldwide.

He's also managed international teams and worked alongside third party inspection companies to ensure all stages of production are done at the highest quality.
