Former Sainsbury’s boss Mike Coupe joins Retail Technology Show speaker line up

New Look Chairman and former Sainsbury’s CEO, Mike Coupe, has been confirmed as a keynote speaker at Retail Technology Show.

Taking place at London’s Olympia on 26th-27th April, Retail Technology Show will feature six key tracks that tackle the most pressing issues and industry trends.

Three feature stages will cover various aspects of retailers’ operations, showcasing best practice inspiration as well as practical hacks and advice, uncovering new shopper trends, and a look ahead to the innovation driving change at pace and scale within the industry.

Coupe starts proceedings on day one on the headline stage, for the show’s leadership and culture track.

His session will explore new leadership strategies that retailers need to look towards in order to drive market share in 2022 and beyond.

The track, chaired by retail influencer Andrew Busby, will then explore key cultural evolutions shaping retail, including building a sustainable culture, as well as how retailers can embed diversity and Inclusion into their organisations. 

An afternoon keynote panel discussion with Watch Shop CEO, Robin Phillips and JML’s CEO, Ken Daly, will ask: what will retailing look like in 2025?

Matt Bradley, Event Director for the Retail Technology Show, comments: “Galvanised by the unprecedented pace and scale of innovation in the industry, we’ve brought together the very brightest minds in retail to discuss the burning topics of the day.”

“From addressing the issues keeping retailers awake at night to forward looking trends and future gazing predictions to practical hacks and tips, each session offers unparalleled, ‘no holds barred’ insight to drive maximum value to the brands and retailers attending the show.”
