Columbia Sportswear Company, one of the top international brands in outdoor apparel, footwear, accessories, and equipment, recently held an earnings call. The company's CEO, Tim Boyle, was candid about the challenges faced in the U.S. market, noting a decline in consumer demand and foot traffic over the past year. Despite these difficulties, a modest net sales increase of 1% was reported, which while not matching projected targets, has prompted a reevaluation of the company's strategies in order to fuel future growth. The company's altered focus now places emphasis on the improvement and innovation of its product line, with a key goal being the creation of collections that will capture the interest of modern consumers. To accomplish this, Columbia Sportswear is investing in the enhancement of its online consumer experience and its direct-to-consumer physical retail stores. Furthermore, the company is implementing strategic initiatives to strengthen the market presence of its key brands, such as SOREL, Mountain Hardwear, and prAna. Even with the issues stemming from declining U.S. consumer demand and foot traffic - largely brought on by warmer winters impacting the sales of cold weather categories - the company's e-commerce strategy seems to be a bright spot. Increased sales were reported during major shopping events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Additionally, there are positive signs of sales growth in other markets, like China, Japan, and Europe. In response to the net sales decrease in the U.S., and to bolster operational efficiency, Columbia Sportswear is implementing a multi-year profit improvement plan. Anticipated to generate substantial annual savings of $125 million to $150 million by 2026, this strategy will encompass cost reductions and realignments across numerous areas, including operations, organizational structure, and non-inventory spending. Reflecting on the company's recent performance, Boyle acknowledged some disappointment but also expressed his own and the team's continued dedication to growth and profitability. In spite of recent growth obstacles, Columbia Sportswear's determination to address these challenges and secure future growth is unwavering. Through tactical improvements of its brand, enhanced consumer experience, trend forecasting, and rigorous cost-saving measures, the company exhibits signs of recovery. The path may be laden with potential challenges ahead, but Columbia Sportswear's proactive approach and ambitious plans suggest it is well-equipped to navigate its future in the sportswear market.

In today's episode of Women In Supply Chain, I'm joined Amani Radman: an amazing woman on two very special missions. To provide reliable, cost-effective transportation services through her own logistics brand; and, to champion the power of diversity in supply chain. Born in Somalia, Amani moved to the US and achieved a degree in supply logistics, management and leadership from Portland State University before going on to establish a successful corporate career. Having gained extensive experience across supplier management, business process and operations, Amani went on to found her own business, Malao Logistics, Minnesota's premier logistics company specializing in freight brokerage and transportation services. Today Amani will be talking to us about her career so far; moving out of the corporate world to found her own business; taking a family approach to logistics; and the importance of diversity in industry. Plus, she'll be sharing her experiences as a woman in supply chain, as well as her words of advice for all of the women following in her footsteps. SHOW SPONSOR: This Women in Supply Chain feature was made possible by our sponsor, Emerge. As a company focused on empowering and growing meaningful supply chain relationships, Emerge is proud to sponsor Women in Supply Chain. Through its freight procurement platform, Emerge offers solutions that enhance the spot and contract procurement process, enabling shippers and carriers to make more strategic decisions. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [08.37] Amani's background growing up in Somalia, and her brave decision to move to the USA to start a new life at age 18. [10.32] How Amani found supply chain, and why she's so passionate about it. “Coming from Somalia, I want to be able to connect the dots… and what is the best way to do that? With logistics, because there's always transport.” [13.25] Amani's experience at global outdoor brand Columbia Sportswear Company, and how the woman-led business inspired her. “Coming from a male-dominated company, all the leadership… everybody was a woman!... It really showed me what it is to be a woman in supply chain, and how to take it to the next level.” [15.47] Amani's previous role at Boeing, the importance of supplier diversity and how businesses should approach it. “Think of it like a mentorship program… the more you mentor us, the more we get bigger and the more we can support you – you can literally customize us the way you want to!” [20.35] The differences between corporate and small business, and why Amani made the decision to start her own company, Malao Logistics. “In corporate, things move so slow… and the supply chain doesn't wait!” [23.09] A closer look at Malao, what they do, and how they help their customers. [25.21] Some of the challenges Amani has faced whilst establishing Malao Logistics. “The hardest part is being accepted in the community… I know the journey is hard, but I have to do this for all the women… I want to be the woman they look up to and say ‘well she did it, why can't I?'” [27.22] Amani's experiences at large industry events, particularly as a woman who wears a head scarf. [32.56] How Amani found, and embraced, her voice, and her advice for others. “Don't give up on your dreams, because if you give up on yourself, don't expect anyone else to believe in you.” [36.47] The future for Amani, and for Malao Logistics. [38.42] Amani's final words of wisdom for the women following in her footsteps. RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Amani over on LinkedIn.

It may the best episode of Solid Cat, and we're all over the map. First, D-mo is baffled by Hinduism. Religion takes us to outlet malls. It was Kentucky Derby day, and despite eugenics (or animal husbandry), horses haven't gotten any faster. The Mayweather vs. Pacquiao was a bit of a snoozer, but the Burger King was there (?). When there is rain in L.A., people panic. We love the Columbia Sportswear Company. We have a sudden Paul Bunyan debate, which leads into the surprising aerodynamics of microfiber cloths. We revisit the tale of the clumsy whore. Val gets up close and personal with a duck, and it wasn't her choice. There are exotic dancers and Chinese funerals. A hologram of Stephen Hawking leads to an ungodly amount of time discussing boy bands. For instance, Rollermania was a legit thing. Mr. Goodbar is featured in the Space Cowboy Kitchen. Clash of the Titans has a ridiculousness too far. Ten Things with Val looks at how our ancestors were mighty perverts. D-mo and Val continue to take credit for Francis' selection as Pope. And D-mo mildly embarrasses a friend, because he can... and it's a fun story (he's a bastard like that). You might want to schedule a larger than usual block of time to enjoy this week's Solid Cat!
