Episode Title:- ??The New 2008: Retail, Wars and Impact??We begin a completely new series on Heads Talk.  The Retail Series, where we talk to CSuite Executive Leaders from well know brands or multinational corporations in this space about the current topics of the day. Follow the new hashtag #HTRetailSeries to be the first to hear and receive news about this series. Not just from me, but from the guest contributors themselves. This first episode is rather special to me. When I was deep into the corporate world and I was either at KPMG or had just joined Deloitte, I bought my first flat and loved it. I went to my favourite furniture store, just to buy one or two items and ended up ‘kitting’ the whole flat out with it.  A very hefty bill, but I was so, so pleased and excited to have BoConcept all over my flat and I still have some of those pieces today. You just cannot beat quality! Now, let’s jump 20 years and here I am talking with the Chairman of the Board Sannna Suvanto-Harsaae. Sanna’s career span over 30 years in the business and we had an in-depth conversation about the state of play in the retail industry, now and predictions for the future.  Very fascinating and at times poignant discussion and I loved how Sanna dissected everything and make you understand why a certain direction was taken when everything pointed elsewhere. Some interesting facts about Sanna: She is the Chair of a number of  Nordic corporations in the retail and manufacturing industry. She has been voted Finland’s most influential business woman for the past 5 years and has received the Order of the White Rose of Finland from the President of Finland in 2021.  Topics Covered: #BoConceptsUSP #ECommenceDecline #RetailInWar #DesignAdvisors #BusinessRelationshipsInRussia #ElusiveHumanConnectionDo follow #HTRetailSeries on LinkedIN to not miss out!  So download⏳grab a cup of Bird & Blend Tea Co - Moji Tea☕️& have a listen? Series Powered by Delance Swiss Watches?
