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.

Gap global creative director Len Peltier has stepped down from his role in July, Drapers has revealed. 

Peltier, who held the role since 2020, oversaw Gap’s creative campaigns for both its UK and global audiences. 

He initially joined the company in 2017, when he became creative director of Banana Republic, previously acquired by Gap in 1983.

Peltier’s career began in the music industry, having worked as a creative director for record labels A&M and Virgin Records in the 1990s before becoming Levi’s creative director in 2007. 

The news follows the recent appointment of chief operating officer of Mattel, Richard Dickson, to the role of president and CEO of Gap. 

Gap did not reply to a request for comment.
