We’re delighted to present a thought-provoking session where Brian Walker, founder and CEO of Retail Doctor Group, chats with retail veteran Paul Greenberg about the evolving landscape of retail in 2025, with a look at DTC Brands and Marketplaces.
Episode highlights include:
- Paul’s reflections on his non-linear career journey from psychological services to retail, and his current book project “Strings to Rope”
- Exploration of how retail has transformed from being physically dominated to a complex mosaic of offers, experiences and expectations
- Insights from Paul’s extensive experience in non-executive roles, including as executive chair at Woolworths and as co-founder of Deal Direct
- Discussion about forward-thinking retailers and innovative business models reshaping the industry
- Analysis of how technology is influencing retail at unprecedented rates and what this means for the future
Spanning industry insights from both Australia and global markets, this conversation offers invaluable perspective for retail leaders navigating the tension between operational efficiency and meaningful customer experiences.
Drawing from Greenberg’s 65 years of life experience and diverse career in retail, the discussion provides a balanced view of retail’s technological future while acknowledging the fundamentally human nature of shopping experiences.
