Retail’s Boundary-Breakers

20 Industry Leaders Challenging the Status Quo

The Retail Innovator Awards were designed to elevate the retail leaders driving positive change for their organizations, whether it be in the form of new tech implementations, new business strategies or new cultural initiatives. This year, we see a connective thread across our winners: they are the ones leading the charge for their businesses (and the industry at large) in emerging areas such as retail media, sustainability, Web3 and more.
