This year’s Top Retail Expert Awardees bring together an incredible group of technologists, analysts, consultants, academics, investors, real estate leaders, and media voices who are actively shaping how retail evolves across physical, digital, and emerging channels.
After a highly competitive nomination process reviewed by our editorial and advisory teams, this class was selected for their real-world impact, original thought leadership, and continued contributions to the industry.
And this recognition goes beyond a list.
Members of the Top Retail Expert Community gain access to year-round opportunities designed for meaningful connection and collaboration, including:
▪️ Private, curated industry events and gatherings
▪️ Exclusive networking with senior retail leaders
▪️ Speaking, podcast, and content collaboration opportunities
▪️ Ongoing peer-to-peer engagement across the RETHINK Retail network
Throughout the year, members will be recognized across RETHINK Retail programming, with a special moment of celebration during RETHINK Retail’s AI in Retail (AiR) Conference and Gala on Monday, January 12, taking place during
@NRFnews week in New York City.
We encourage senior retail leaders attending NRF to join us as we celebrate the 2026 Top Retail Experts and connect with peers shaping the future of the industry.
