On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

VF Corporation has announced it has entered into an agreement to see the occupational part of its work segment with a subsidiary of Redwood Capital Investments, LLC.

Brands such as Work Authority, Kodiak, Bulwark and VF Solutions are included in the occupational workwear portion of VF’s work segment.

However, the sale does not include the purchase of the Dickies or Timberland PRO brands and the terms of the deal have not been publicly revealed.

Expected to close in the first financial quarter of 2022, the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Steve Rendle, VF’s chairman, CEO and president, said, “The sale of our occupational work brands reflects our continued focus on transforming VF into a more consumer-minded and retail-centric enterprise while further simplifying our portfolio and operating model.

“We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Redwood Capital Investments. They are an ideal owner to guide these brands and businesses into their next phase of growth.”
