Chainge Capital LLC is a small management consulting practice based in New Canaan, Connecticut, focused on speed-to-market strategies for fashion‑oriented retailers and brands. Led by Chairman John S. Thorbeck, who has held chief executive roles at Rockport (Adidas) and G.H. Bass & Co., and has marketing experience with Nike and Timberland, the firm has collaborated with Stanford researchers to develop Lead Time Optimization (LTO)™. Through this work, Chainge Capital applies postponement concepts to apparel and footwear to address the fast pace and short life cycles of fashion products.

Its clients are retailers and brands seeking faster product introductions and more responsive replenishment. The LTO approach structures manufacturing planning by separating finished-goods commitments from material and capacity decisions, and emphasizes pre-positioning and hedging of materials while enabling what-if logistics scenarios that include sea and air freight. The aim is to reduce order cycles from months to days for new products and in-season replenishment, improving inventory efficiency and supply chain flexibility.
