Change is inevitable, but navigating it successfully is not always easy. In fact, approximately 70% of change management initiatives fail. So, what separates the successful transformations from the unsuccessful ones? It begins with a strong leadership focus and organizational buy-in. It then entails alignment with company culture and values for authentic and sustainable change.
In today’s challenging business environment, it’s more important than ever for retailer and brand executives to demonstrate strong leadership and a clear sense of purpose. One of the standout leaders in this space is James Reinhart, Co-Founder and CEO of ThredUp. In case you haven’t heard, ThredUp has recently leapfrogged the industry with its customer-facing AI innovations, setting a new standard for how technology can be leveraged to drive business success. Who better than James to join our President, Sarah Engel, on the main stage at the first-ever Shoptalk Fall?
As a champion of sustainability and a vocal critic of fast fashion, James has not only driven forward innovation at ThredUp but also built a brand that stands for something more profound than just profit. His commitment to sustainability and innovation makes him a leader worth learning from.
