Ssense names Haein Dorin as global head of partnerships

Montreal-based global e-commerce and content platform Ssense has named Haein Dorin to the newly created role of global head of partnerships.

In this role, Dorin will have the responsibility of overseeing global brand partnerships, while also leading initiatives for global community growth and nurturing strategic relations with key partners across the creative, fashion, and business sectors. 

“I’ve been a long time admirer of Ssense’s buying direction and distinct point of view, and I’m excited to build on that foundation to grow the brand’s community across partnerships, talent and influencers at a global scale,” said Dorin. 

With more than a decade of experience as an executive and partnerships curator, Dorin has established a reputation for her ability to build brands and teams at the intersection of editorial, technology, and culture.

Dorin joins Ssense after over five years at Highsnobiety, where she was the senior vice president and general manager. She has also held leadership positions at Condé Nast.

Dorin serves on the board of Comme Si, a luxury sock and loungewear brand, and has a voluntary role as the creative director and community lead of Manhattan Youth, a non-profit community center. Most recently, she was recognized by Luxury Daily as a Luxury Woman to watch in 2023.

Ssense, founded in 2003, is well-known for offering a mix of established and emerging luxury brands across womenswear, menswear, kidswear, and lifestyle. The platform is privately held and has achieved high double digit annual growth and profitability since its inception.

Last year, it appointed Daniel Habashi as its first chief customer officer.
