Fran Horowitz, Abercrombie & Fitch CEO: The future of retail is small, efficient, omni stores, and they're located where the customer tells us. I get really, really excited about what this means in the operations of the business, using predictive analytics to help us forecast demand. They're worldwide, a zillion stores, and their operations and execution, aside from their merchandising, I think they're always on top of the game. I think you're going to see an interaction with someone in a setting that doesn't look like retail, but looks like a fantastic experience. Nicholas of Sam's Club: Another retail standard that is really going to be important beyond the customer is energy.

☆ Gap hires Mattel president Richard Dickson to be its new CEO

New York CNN —Gap has named a new CEO, from toy giant Mattel, nearly a year after its previous leader departed. The retailer announced Wednesday that Richard Dickson, currently Mattel’s president and chief operating officer, will assume the position. First the president of the Gap division and later CEO of the company beginning in 1995, Drexler pushed Gap to expand beyond jeans into khakis and oversaw the creation of the budget-chain Old Navy in 1994. It doesn’t help that Old Navy and Banana Republic are also struggling, adding to Dickson’s challenges. In short, being CEO of Gap is not for the faint of heart,” Saunders said.
