As part of The Virtual Robin Report Annual Forum, Robin Lewis had a conversation with Dave Kimbell, president of Ulta Beauty. Ulta Beauty was one of The Robin Report Retail Radicals for 2020. The Robin Report Retail Radicals Awards focuses on identifying the radical thinkers and doers exclusively in the legacy retail industry sectors. These radicals are driving the major transformations within their respective retail brands with challenges much larger and more complex than those of often-celebrated tech-driven startups. The Robin Report Index identifies quantitatively and qualitatively outperforming retailers and their innovators within five industry sectors.
Profits + Consumer Trends with Dave Kimbell and Robin Lewis (Originally aired November 11, 12:30-1:30 EST)

Consumers will redefine the retail experience, as they accelerate retailers’ response to new behaviors, demands and needs. Robin Lewis is in conversation with Dave Kimbell to deconstruct how Ulta has retooled its business models to manage the trifecta of a global health crisis, economic disruption and civil unrest. They also outline plans for a challenging Holiday season.
