Levi Strauss & Co.’s Post

Former Ulta Beauty CEO Mary Dillon, who led the company from 2013 to 2021, took the helm at Foot Locker in September 2022 to revitalize the brand. Dillon is renowned for her successful leadership at Ulta, where she transformed the company from a regional player into a national powerhouse. Under her tenure, Ulta's revenues surged from $2.7 billion to $8.6 billion, and operating profits grew from $327 million to $1.3 billion. Dillon's Lace Up Plan at Foot Locker faced significant challenges in 2023 due to macroeconomic and consumer-related pressures. However, is the plan now about to show signs of success? #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #RetailIndustry #FootLocker #UltaBeauty #CEO #Transformation #BusinessStrategy #MaryDillon #LaceUpPlan #RetailLeadership #BusinessInnovation #Macroeconomics #ConsumerTrends #CorporateSuccess #RevenueGrowth #BusinessRevitalization

We are proud of our own Ina Kota and Silvana Zenere who contributed to the recently published Association of Executive Search and Leadership Consultants (AESC) report, "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Creating Competitive Advantage Through Fairness, Inclusion and Belonging." In its research, AESC asked business leaders to identify the highest impact DEI strategies in their organizations. The top three strategies are: 1. Foster a safe and inclusive environment. 2. Communicate the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. 3. Leadership is publicly committed. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gx74URK6

I was at Anheuser-Busch for years, and the debacle that occurred with Bud Light would have not taken place, most likely, with the previous leadership. We researched things carefully before jumping. Either it was a failure to understand the risks, or the advice was ignored. Both are preventable errors. But the advisor's own credibility should be considered too. Sometimes, the presentation of the advice hurts the perception of the quality of the advice because of the credibility of the counselor who delivers it. A rookie with no depth of experience just isn't going to get listened to on a serious matter. #brandengagement
