“C-Suite Executive and founder of Retail Women in Tech, leading conversation on how women work, lead, and transition in a changing economy.”
Shannon Flanagan is the author of Choose – Don’t Chase – Your Career: Rewrite Your Transitions on Your Terms, a practical guide for women navigating layoffs, burnout, and big pivots who are tired of grabbing the next role out of fear or optics. A former retail executive who led major transformations at brands like Gap Inc., Lands’ End, and Macy’s before moving into tech as a VP/GM, she now serves as Founder and CEO of Retail Women in Tech, a fast‑growing 501(c)(3) movement helping women own the “in‑between” of their careers instead of rushing past it. Drawing on hundreds of conversations with women in the messy middle of their careers and her own multiple layoffs, Shannon blends research, real stories, and change‑management tools to help listeners reframe disruption as a launchpad for a more aligned life. A four‑time RETHINK Retail Top Influencer, RetailWire BrainTrust member, and regular speaker at events like NRF’s Big Show, she’s a sharp, candid, and funny guest who gives audiences language for what they’re feeling and concrete steps they can take before they say yes to what’s next.
