11:00 AM Keynote Panel: Getting C-Suite Alignment Right: Driving Faster Decisions and Smarter Growth

In a market that rewards speed, many retailers find their biggest obstacle isn't competition but the time it takes their own leadership team to agree on a direction. When the CEO, CFO, and CMO are working from different definitions of success, big decisions stall and the rest of the organization is left guessing which priorities truly matter. This panel of C-Suite leaders will discuss what genuine alignment on growth, margin, and risk looks like, how to map decision rights so major bets keep moving, which operating rhythms keep the executive team in sync, and how to turn top-level priorities into clear mandates for commercial and operations teams.  

  • Clarifying what true C‑suite alignment on growth, margin, and risk really looks like 
  • Mapping decision rights so big bets stop getting stuck in cross‑functional limbo 
  • Designing operating rhythms that keep CEOs, CFOs, and CMOs pulling in the same direction 
  • Translating top‑table priorities into clear mandates for commercial and ops teams 

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Jack.
