Over the past few weeks, I have met with the CEOs of some highly successful retailers and brands to discuss the momentum of their individual companies and where they see the industry headed. My discussions included talks with Jim Weber, CEO, Brooks Running Company; Laurent Potdevin, CEO, Lululemon; Gene McCarthy, President and CEO, ASICS America; Alex DelCielo, CEO, Camuto Group; and John Haugh, President of Sun and Luxury at Luxottica Retail.
