Description

In this episode, Wendy Liebmann, WSL’s CEO and Chief Shopper talks to Helena Foulkes, current board member of Costco & Harry’s, former president of CVS Pharmacy and CEO and Board Member of the Hudson’s Bay Company, amongst other roles.  

They discuss:

  • Her reflections on the pandemic: What she has learned about retail, leadership and the future.  
  • How and why the power dynamic shifted from manufacturer to retailer to technology -- and now to consumers.
  • The lasting effects of the pandemic. (It’s not technology.)
  • The power of community, and the role retail.  
  • How companies can prosper in times of paradox and complexity.
  • The big opportunity in the consumerization of healthcare. 
  • What makes for future retail winners and losers (a clue: people and innovation, not AI).
