Carol Spieckerman - President & CEO
This is the most exciting time I can remember in retail. Ever.
People hire NMB to have us personally involved with their success.
I'm told that I don't "look" like a retail veteran. Music to my ears!
Our clients are experts in their brands, products, and solutions. We are experts in finding their brand in their business, then positioning them for retail success.
Conventional wisdom won't get you there.
There's nothing better than hearing that everyone from the receptionist to the ceo is looking forward to our arrival.
Retailers are brands (and so are you).
You're "in sales." Trust me.
These days I'm inspired by Ornella Barra, Julie Mehretu, Jeanne Gang, Helene Grimaud, Cory Doctorow, Gerhard Richter, and Tokyo.
Style icons? Lapo Elkann, Philip Treacy, Rei Kawakubo, the gals at Rodarte, Waris Ahluwalia, and Frank Muytjens.
My current retail inspirations are Stanley Marcus, Sam Walton, Angela Ahrendts, Tadashi Yanai, and Merci (Paris).
Must love dogs.
