A special event featuring Terry Lundgren, co-chair of the university’s Fuel Wonder fundraising campaign.
When
A conversation about the careers that built retail - and the ones still being written.
Some leaders don’t just build companies - they define industries.
Join Terry Lundgren, Former Chairman & CEO of Macy’s, and Lew Frankfort, Former Chairman & CEO of Coach, for an intimate evening exploring the leadership journeys behind two of retail’s most iconic brands.
This is not a highlight reel or a discussion of quarterly results. It’s an honest conversation about the careers behind the work: the pivotal decisions that shaped their legacies, the risks that paid off, the failures that became turning points, and the leadership principles that built enduring brands and inspired generations of people.
Together, Terry and Lew will reflect on:
- The defining moments that changed the course of their careers
- How they led through disruption, transformation, and uncertainty
- Building brands that customers trust and employees believe in
- The mentors, lessons, and mistakes that mattered most
- What today’s retail leaders must embrace to shape the future of commerce
For senior retail executives, this is a rare opportunity to hear directly from two leaders whose influence continues to shape the industry - and to take part in a conversation designed to inspire the next generation of retail leadership.
Following the fireside conversation, guests will enjoy a private networking reception with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, along with an exclusive opportunity for conversation and a book signing with Lew Frankfort.
This is not a conference. It’s a curated gathering of retail executives and industry leaders, created to foster meaningful conversations, trusted relationships, and lasting connections.
