Having transitioned from retail to tech myself, I’m a strong advocate for retail management hires. The skills honed on the shop floor are incredibly versatile and often underappreciated in tech spaces. No matter how ‘fast-paced’ a business claims to be, nothing quite compares to the intensity and adaptability demanded in retail—especially during peak season. Retail managers don’t just thrive under pressure; they live it daily, handling complex logistics, team dynamics, and real-time problem-solving. If you’re hiring for agility, resilience, and multi-dimensional thinking, consider bringing in a retail professional—they’re more than equipped to elevate your team!

2moIsaac, can’t agree with you more on this one! Amelia, and Thatiana will surely agree too! So proud of us all making it outside the retail, yet it is the retail environment that made us what we are - strong and robust and agile and versatile and … you name it!
