Dana Seguin
Dana Seguin is Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Altar'd State, the fast-growing Knoxville-based women's fashion retailer, where she leads all creative, marketing and eCommerce work across its family of brands - Altar'd State, Arula, Vow'd, Tullabee and AS Revival. A brand builder with roughly 25 years in retail and fashion, she began in merchandising at American Eagle Outfitters before moving into creative marketing for SPANX, Chico's and Aerie. She is best known for leading the creation and launch of the Aerie Real campaign, which stopped retouching model images and helped make body positivity a mainstream retail message.
Frank Berman
Frank Berman is the Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Bloomingdale's, where he has spent his entire 30-plus year career - starting in 1991 as a housewares business manager and rising through buying and loyalty roles to lead marketing for the 150-plus-year-old luxury department store. He built his reputation on keeping the brand 'fun,' framing Bloomingdale's as a place to buy wants not needs, and steering high-profile experiential campaigns from rotating themed pop-ups to the Wicked-themed holiday takeover and the retailer's 150th anniversary gala.
Katherine Beede
Katherine Godfrey Beede is Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of The TJX Companies, the Framingham, Massachusetts off-price retail group behind T.J.Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Homesense, Sierra, Winners and TK Maxx. She stepped into the top marketing seat in February 2024 after roughly a quarter-century inside the company, having previously run marketing for HomeGoods, then T.J.Maxx, then the combined T.J.Maxx and Marshalls division known internally as MarMaxx. Before TJX she spent a decade on the agency side in Boston and Philadelphia, at shops including Hill Holliday, LevLane, Arnold Worldwide and Holland Mark Martin. Her remit now covers marketing for a roughly $60 billion retailer with more than 5,200 stores across nine countries, built on a business model that sells a shopping trip nobody can fully predict - the so-called treasure hunt. She keeps an unusually low public profile for a Fortune 100 CMO.
Sara Griffin
Sara Griffin is a retail marketing executive who serves as Chief Marketing Officer at Belk, the Charlotte-based Southern department store chain. She built her career over a decade at Saks OFF 5TH, where she rose from marketing leadership to Chief Marketing and Analytics Officer, launched the SaksOFF5TH.com site in 2013, helped build the retailer's Canadian store fleet, and created the tender-neutral OFF 5TH Rewards loyalty program that surpassed 2.5 million enrollments. A Yale graduate with a Wharton MBA and a former Monitor Deloitte consultant, she later served as CMO of The Shade Store before joining Belk. She is known for tying data, analytics and marketing together to deliver personalized shopping experiences.
Melissa Haynes
Melissa Haynes is the Chief Marketing Officer of Glik's, one of the oldest family-owned fashion retailers in the United States, founded in 1897. A digital commerce and merchandising leader who cut her teeth as a shoe buyer at Zappos and later ran merchandising at eBags, Shane Co. and Scrubs & Beyond, she now steers marketing and customer experience for the roughly 70-store Midwest chain. Her calling card is hyper-local: she believes Glik's wins by tailoring each store's assortment to the community around it, backed by modern unified-commerce technology.
Sabrina Cherubini
Sabrina Cherubini is the Chief Marketing Officer of FULLBEAUTY Brands, the plus-size and big-and-tall apparel group behind names like Catherines, ellos, Swimsuits for All, Jessica London and Brylane Home. A French-born marketer who began at Leo Burnett and Havas in Europe, she has spent two decades moving between advertising agencies, startups and Fortune 500 retailers including Kmart, Sears, Ann Taylor and Loft. Before FULLBEAUTY she spent nearly four years at lingerie brand Hanky Panky, where she helped grow the direct-to-consumer share of revenue from under 20% to roughly half. She is a Women in Retail Leadership Circle member, a nonprofit board member, and an advocate for women's leadership communities.
Taryn Rayment
Taryn Rayment is the Chief Marketing Officer of J.McLaughlin, the New York heritage apparel brand, a role she took in April 2024. Over roughly two decades she has run marketing and ecommerce for consumer brands across fashion, footwear, travel goods, and floral delivery - including a stretch as CMO and consumer division head at FTD during the pandemic, CMO at ecoATM Gazelle, and senior digital and CRM leadership at Cole Haan and TUMI. She is known for a data-driven, retention-focused approach to direct-to-consumer marketing and for steering omnichannel and e-commerce growth.
Thomas Zanetich
Thomas Zanetich is the CEO of INTURN, the New York enterprise software company that helps large consumer brands manage and sell off slow-moving and excess inventory. He spent close to a decade inside INTURN, most visibly running client success for accounts like Nike, Levi's and KIND, before acquiring the business and taking it back to independent ownership after its stint inside AI firm Mad Street Den. His pitch is unglamorous but real: the surplus goods piling up in warehouses are one of retail's most expensive problems, and there is money hidden in getting rid of them well.
