The Retail Exec Reimagined as an Intergenerational Mentor – Building Legacy
Name: Olivia, 58
Before: Managing Director of Global Retail Operations
After: Founder of a mentorship exchange for Gen Z entrepreneurs
Burned out and bored with margins and merchandising, Olivia stepped off the treadmill. She launched a reverse-mentoring programme, pairing experienced industry veterans with young fashion founders. She now speaks on intergenerational innovation. “I gave up power for purpose. It was the best trade of my life.”
