Cover Story: The Top Women in Cross-Channel Retail

After receiving such great feedback on our inaugural list last year, we here at Retail Online Integration decided to make this an annual feature to highlight the leading female executives in cross-channel retail.

The women on this year’s list, as were those on last year’s, are the best and brightest in the cross-channel retail industry. They’re marketing and merchandising professionals, e-commerce experts, chief operation officers, and chief executive officers at cross-channel retail companies of all sizes. They’ve all helped their companies survive — and even thrive — despite the fast-paced changes taking place in the cross-channel retail industry and the economic hardships that have taken a toll on many companies over the last few years.

All of the women on this list are currently employed at a cross-channel retailer and, like last year, were chosen based on their position and scope of responsibility, accomplishments and achievements within their own company, and their involvement in the retail industry.

Take advantage of this opportunity to learn about the career paths of these top women as well as gain some insight from them — each woman has offered their best tip for succeeding in cross-channel retail in 2012.
