Description
“Online? Offline? They cannot be separate — consumers don’t care where they buy.”
Omnichannel operator Loïc Réthore on why most transformations fail when they start with tech instead of vision, people, and governance—and how strong operating discipline stops channels from competing with each other and starts protecting margin and customer experience.
From building brands across APAC (Japan, Greater China, Australia) in senior roles spanning Jurlique, Dyson, DFS, L’Oréal, LVMH, and Unilever, Loïc shares what actually travels across markets: cultural agility (“read the air”), active listening, and leaders who combine high skill with low ego.
In this episode:
Why omnichannel is a vision + governance problem before it is a platform problem
The pricing and promo calendar discipline that prevents channels from undercutting each other
Travel retail vs domestic: keeping the story consistent while changing store design and execution
Centralized vs localized models: how category and product reality determine the operating design
Mobility and cultural agility: why international careers still require curiosity, EQ, and real-market immersion
If you lead across markets, manage channel conflict, or want a cleaner playbook for building resilient growth in volatile regions, this one will sharpen your instincts.
