Our Boards

Our board members are industry leaders and founders from the most authoritative and globally-recognized retailers in the world.

The Center engages three different boards, comprised of founders and senior-level retail executives from different types of retailers. The Advisory Board (established omnichannel retailers), Directors’ Council (mostly digitally native retailers), and West Coast Board (both established omnichannel and digitally native companies) generally meet twice a year. Board members provide thought leadership, input for research topics, and participation in student activities and events.
