Marie Schwartz

I’m the CEO of RETHINK Retail, a global media and community platform bringing together the leaders, ideas and conversations moving retail forward.

My work sits at the intersection of retail leadership, community, media and innovation. I spend my days talking with executives across retail, brands, technology and the broader commerce ecosystem about what’s actually changing, from AI and retail media to customer loyalty, the future of stores, organizational transformation and the evolving role of leadership.

At RETHINK Retail, we believe the most interesting conversations happen when you bring the right people into the room and move beyond surface-level trend spotting. Through our global community of retail executives and Top Retail Experts, original research, editorial, podcasts and events, we create spaces where leaders can challenge conventional thinking, learn from one another and help shape what comes next.

I love conversations that dig beneath the buzzwords: What are leaders getting right? Where is the industry getting ahead of itself? What will meaningfully change how retailers operate and serve customers? And what does it take to build organizations and communities that are ready for what’s next?

If your audience cares about the future of retail, commerce, leadership or community, we’ll have plenty to talk about.
