Women in Retail Leadership Circle (WIRLC) is making a splash in New York City next week (unfortunately, no pool included)! Our community will be gathering at CommerceNext on June 23-24. Then, on the evening of June 24, we’ll take over the Michael Kors flagship store in Rockefeller Center for a Meetup event (now sold out)!
If you’ll be attending CommerceNext, stop by our Women in Retail Pavilion (booth #275) to relax, connect with peers, learn more about the benefits of WIRLC membership, and enjoy ear styling and temporary tattoos from Revel Road! The Pavilion will feature dynamic discussions with accomplished women leaders from across the retail industry, including:
- Amiee Bayer-Thomas, Chief Retail Officer, Ulta Beauty
- Sabrina Cherubini, Chief Marketing Officer, FullBeauty Brands
- Jamie Cygielman, President, American Girl; Global Head of Dolls, Mattel, Inc.
- Kim Hiedt, Chief Retail Officer, Tecovas
Find our full Pavilion agenda and let us know that you’re coming here!
Also at CommerceNext, WIRLC will host a breakfast panel on June 24 at 8:00 a.m. titled, “Leadership Reimagined: Women Driving Retail in the AI Era.” At the center of the conversation is a powerful group of women leaders who are actively shaping what artificial intelligence looks like inside today’s retail organizations, including:
- Kristin Bennett, Senior Vice President, Merchandising and Production, Rue Gilt Groupe
- Vanessa LeFebvre, President, Sport and Lifestyle, G-III Apparel Group
- Mary Beth Sheridan, CEO and Board Member, Guild Brands
