Our Founder

Jamie Gill’s journey into the world of luxury was anything but conventional. Growing up as a British Indian boy in the Midlands, concealing his sexuality, he didn’t see a clear path into the industry he longed to enter. Instead, he pursued a career in architecture, but soon pivoted into finance, qualifying as a chartered accountant, and gaining business acumen in consultancy and venture capital.

It was within a venture capital firm investing in luxury fashion that Jamie found the intersection of his skills and passion. His analytical mindset, strategic thinking, and deep understanding of business operations set him apart. After serving on ROKSANDA’s board, he became the youngest CEO of a British luxury house on the London Fashion Week scene—proving that talent from outside the industry drives innovation and success.

Jamie’s own career trajectory demonstrated that diverse skills bring fresh thinking, and different perspectives fuel growth. But he also recognised a systemic challenge—fashion, beauty, and luxury often sought talent from the same, insular pools. When he joined the Board of the British Fashion Council, it became clear: real inclusion requires action.

This realisation became the foundation for The Outsiders Perspective. A platform designed to challenge industry norms, unlock untapped talent, and champion skills-based hiring over traditional career pathways. By bridging industries and creating access for diverse professionals, Jamie is driving a new era of luxury, fashion and beauty —one where talent is defined by ability, not background.
