A SEAT at THE TABLE: Conversations with Today's Top Industry Leaders

If you’re like most of us, you’ve seen video meetings go from a temporary measure to become part of the ‘new normal’.

Love them or leave them, Zoom, Teams, Skype and other apps are here to stay. So smart leaders are adapting and conquering what is really just one more step in an overall migration to all things digital.

So how do we bridge what is a clear divide between in person and online? Where can we improve the way we communicate information and ideas? What can we do to win the day in this strange new virtual environment?

If you’re looking to make a better impression in online meetings or take your virtual meetings to the next level then the man to see is Eduardo Placer.

Eduardo is the CEO and Founder of Fearless Communicators, whose clients include HBO, Google, Bank of America- Merrill Lynch, Yale, The Juilliard School, and the Wharton School of Business, as well as a list of A-lister private clients that are too many mention here.

If you’re looking to develop show stopping collections that will perform on the selling floor and online, then SPINEXPO is the place to go. It’s the primary exhibition for yarns and knitwear. Spinexpo provides a well-edited selection of top quality products that are filled with creativity - as well as trend information that cannot be found anywhere else.

What We Need to Rethink as We Reopen

As retail looks forward to returning to normal, most of the attention is focused on which brands will be opening stores and what the new omni-channel strategies might look like.
However, we might overlooking what else needs to change. Will post-pandemic retail simply be a rollout of they we ‘always did things’. Or will brands reimagine new ways to connect with consumers so they can drive both sales and profits.
I’m Jane Singer and Welcome to A Seat at The Table.
I put that question to Andrew Smith, a transformational retailer leader who focusses on the future of retail and customer experience, and is co-founder and managing partner of Think Uncommon, a retail innovation thinktank. Andrew has worked with both established retailers and startups to develop action-focused strategies to help them thrive in highly competitive markets.
In this episode he’ll share some of what he sees as opportunities for brands and retailers to rethink as they reopen.
Before we get started, if you’re looking for precise trend information that will define your next best-sellers, then SPINEXPO is the place to go. It’s the primary exhibition for yarns and knitwear.

Materials Sourcing: The Complex Balancing Act that's Challenging Many Brands

It’s difficult to talk about apparel without also talking about materials.
And that quickly leads to conversations about sustainability. Not so much about the need to use more sustainable materials. - most people are pretty clear on that.
The challenge is how to check all of the boxes - and there are a lot! - that brands need to check these days.
I’m Jane Singer, and welcome to A Seat at The Table.
The question so many brands struggle with is “how to meet requests for better performance, better hand feel, visual appeal and, of course, sustainability?”
So I reached out to Veronica Pagani, a leading expert on materials sourcing to find out how she manages that complex equation.
Veronica was Vice President of raw materials sourcing at Ralph Lauren for 15 years, before leaving last year to start her own consulting business Studio VP.
She’s worked with suppliers around the world and has been challenged to meet the stringent standards that are part of working for a major brand that faces constant pressure to be more sustainable, meet strict compliance standards, work on tight lead times, while also being innovative in terms of performance and design.
Speaking of materials, before we get started, if you’re looking for a well-edited selection of top quality products that are filled with creativity, Then Spinexpo is the place to go. It’s the primary exhibition for yarns and knitwear. It’s also the top resource for precise trend information that cannot be found anywhere else.
