At the NRF 2024: Retail’s Big Show, the CFOs of Macy’s, Rothy’s, and Levi Strauss shared a panel that discussed how the CFO role in retail has changed due in large part to the need to invest in technology to drive growth.
“The CFO role is very different than when I started,” said Harmit Singh, CFO and growth officer at Levi Strauss. “It was more about creating shareholder value. More about control. More about the glass half empty. Today, because we live in such an uncertain time and because things are evolving at a fast pace, I think the new CFO really needs to embrace technology and agility.”
