Paula Angelucci

Regional Manager

WHSmith North America


A passionate, results driven Field Operations Executive with a proven track record of building operational excellence at scale across top retail brands including Burlington Stores, Adore Me, Victoria’s Secret, and Macy’s. I bring over two decades of experience leading field teams, executing change management initiatives, and translating strategy into seamless, customer-centric store operations.

Throughout my career, I’ve specialized in diagnosing underperformance, driving operational turnarounds, and building empowered leadership pipelines that fuel sustainable business growth. From new store openings and market expansions to large-scale process rollouts, I thrive at the intersection of strategy, execution, and frontline leadership.

Beyond operational rigor, I am deeply committed to cultivating strong cultures of accountability, engagement, and community within field teams. Whether supporting Regional VPs, coaching District Managers, or partnering with corporate HQ to drive system-wide improvements, I bring a hands-on, people-first leadership approach grounded in transparency, agility, and results.

As I continue to grow, I am focused on opportunities to scale my impact at the Executive Field Operations level—leading regional or national teams to deliver operational excellence, drive strategic initiatives, and empower the next generation of leadership in retail.
