Wendy Youds

I lead the Product Engine for Article, made up of a multi functional team located in Vancouver, Canada and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Teams include; Product Management, Product Operations, Product Design, Product Development, Product Intelligence, Raw Materials, Social & Environmental Sustainability.  These high performing teams along with their cross functional partners, relentlessly and tirelessly work to create beautiful modern furniture for our customers.

Originally from the UK, I've been working in retail for over 25 years and fortunate to have experienced high growth companies like Lululemon and Next PLC, living and working in locations such as Hong Kong and South Africa along the way. 
I have a life long passion for product design, particularly furniture, which led me to join Article and their incredibly talented team in January 2020.
