During the last bull run, legacy fashion brands raced to incorporate web3 into their strategy. Now, with consumer demand for web3 in hibernation, where does that leave marketers in the traditional fashion space who are still bullish on web3?  In this episode, Lisa Pillette (CMO of Fossil Group) discusses Fossil's venture into NFTs and how the company's attitude toward web3 has changed in the last year. Lisa remains bullish on the implementation of web3 strategies for both Fossil and other legacy brands in the long term, but only if those strategies are implemented for the right reasons. DISCLAIMERThe content herein is provided for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only, and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, options, futures, or other derivatives related to securities in any jurisdiction, nor should not be relied upon as advice to buy, sell or hold any of the foregoing.

Today I am thrilled to be sitting down with one of my oldest and dearest clients, Annemiek Ballesty, who is talking to us live from Hong Kong. When we first met, Annemiek was working on the launch of Fossil Group in Australia from a tiny unit on Sydney's Northern Beaches. Fast forward to 2022, and she is now Senior Vice President, Head of APAC Commercial at Fossil Group.   This incredible powerhouse is both a survivor and a leader. She is truly one of the best in the industry at forming powerful partnerships, and in this episode of the Powerful Stories podcast, she talks us through just how she does this.    I love the way Annemiek values taking the time to build genuine trust in her partnerships, and in fact, her way of working is so aligned with my own philosophy that everything is an energy exchange. I have always worked driven by the belief that when you form a partnership, your success is my success. Annemiek's story highlights the power of always striving to make sure there's something in it for both parties when entering a strong partnership.   In this podcast episode, she also shares how she has navigated Fossil Group's expansion into the Chinese market, managing teams through skilled communication, and striving for that all-elusive work-life balance.   On a personal level, Annemiek's fascinating journey has seen her become much more comfortable with herself in her thirties; a journey that I'm sure many of our wonderful community can also relate to. She shows us that it's ok to accept your weaknesses and turn your attention to nurturing your own individual strengths – and that from there, truly wonderful things can happen!       Topics Discussed   [0:55]: We discuss Annemiek's early career working on the Australian arm of Fossil Group, transitioning it from a family business into a global company.    [2:10] Annemiek is a testament to staying power: she has remained with Fossil Group for 20 years, progressing through different roles to land where she is today.   [2:50] Annemiek talks us through where Fossil Group was when she first started working on the brand, to its rapid rise to where it is today as global fashion company worth a couple of billion dollars.   [4:21] We discuss how to form a strong business partnership, and the importance of making it a win-win situation for both parties.    [5:54] Annemiek talks about how one of the secrets of a powerful business partnership is making sure you are the right size for your partner, and shares how this played out when she launched Emporio Armani in China.   [8:40] She shares her view on building a bricks-and-mortar presence vs online when building out a global brand.    [9:53] Annemiek works hard to ensure that Fossil Group's bricks-and-mortar footprint delivers an incredible experiential experience for the customer; and discusses the rise of live streaming into the store experience.     [11:51] Annemiek describes the process of building a multimillion-dollar brand based on a 360-degree lens on the customer journey.   [13:50] She has successfully navigated a male-dominated industry; and witnessed the shifting balance of power between women and men over the last couple of decades. Today, she actively pushes for embracing diversity in the workplace.      [15:49] Annemiek opens up about becoming a lot more comfortable in herself in her thirties; discusses the importance of embracing your own unique style and focusing less on your weaknesses and instead fostering your strengths.    [16:26] Her own biggest strengths are being an avid lifelong learner; growing people and cultivating great teams; and knowing her numbers, which Annemiek argues is more important than ever today, when marketing has become all about analytics.   [19:39] Annemiek manages and streamlines her global team through skilled communication. She also shares which communications channels she favours across her different teams around the globe.   [22:09] At times, Annemiek has struggled with the difficulty of maintaining a work/life balance, and has come to believe in the importance of having periods of time where you are not available.    [23:41] Annemiek shares the hurdles she has navigated steering the business through Covid, particularly when based partly in China; how she hopes to use her experience in the future to help other companies who plan to expand into the Asian market.         Links   Where to find Annemiek Ballesty Twitter: @AnnemiekHK LinkedIn: Annemiek Ballesty Alsem     Where to Find Tory Archbold Are you ready to take a powerful step forward in business and in life?

We were honored to welcome Alan Panter, the CFO of Fossil Group, Inc., onto the EMEA Recruitment podcast. “Productivity and end goal comes from bringing the best out of the teams of people.” In this episode, Alan speaks to Paul Toms about the transformation of Fossil and the preconditioning it endured before the pandemic arrived. He explains that, with the change-oriented culture of the organization and resilience of the people behind it, Fossil was able to make the most of the opportunity to further transform the business, both as an organization and its outcomes during this period. As CFO of the company, Alan finds his role to be a very pleasurable experience, due to the organizational culture. His leadership style promotes collaboration - something he experienced during his coaching at Price Waterhouse - and giving employees the power to make their own decisions.  “The biggest achievement for me was getting hearts and minds going in the right direction – fundamentally, what a transformation is all about”. During the episode, we discovered the approach Alan uses during the recruitment process, striving to understand how that person thinks, where they draw their knowledge and how this person would represent the brand. This was more challenging due to COVID-19. However, Alan explains the process was the same - it was the execution that was different. We later delved into how Alan started his financial career and the commitment he gives to his extra-curricular activities, such as snowboarding. Alternatively, mentioned in previous episodes is the impact business intelligence and data has on organizations. Alan accepts this is more challenging to tackle for mid-sized organizations like Fossil, admitting that there are areas where integrating data across eCommerce platforms isn't linear.  Paul finishes the episode by asking Alan what's next on his bucket list.    01:00: Where is Alan in the world?01:48: The last thing that made Alan smile03:19: Taking positives from the COVID-19 pandemic 05:20: Completing a transformation during the pandemic08:14: The key for working well under pressure12:00: Alan's extra-curricular activities 14:35: The passion for Finance17:27: What does it feel like to be the CFO of Fossil?20:09: How Alan has recruited great people over the years25:50: How COVID affected recruitment 28:35: Where Alan's management style comes from  32:50: How Alan structures his day 36:24: How BI & data will impact Finance40:40: Will BI & data change the way we evaluate people? 44:31: What's next on Alan's bucket list 47:40: How to reach out to Alan  If you wish to connect with Alan on LinkedIn, he is always happy to share the knowledge he has with his network and tries his best to respond where he reasonably can.    EMEA Recruitment is a proud supporter of international medical charity Operation Smile, which provides life-changing surgery to children born with cleft lip and palate.

We highlight thought leaders who are constantly evolving their strategy and can provide insight to folks about how to address new business challenges.  AllVoices is on a mission to create safe, happy, and healthy workplaces for all, and we're excited to learn from experts who share our mission. In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we're chatting with Sheri Crosby Wheeler, Vice President of Global Diversity and Inclusion for Fossil Group, Inc. Sheri is a diversity leader, an employment lawyer, and an avid community volunteer.Tune in to learn Sheri's thoughts on the role of private employees, practicing equity-driven leadership, measuring DEIB progress, and more!About AllVoices In today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.

“I was looking for something to aspire to, but I also knew – I don't know why – it can't be the situation where I can't ascend to those things. What I see around me is not the true picture of the world. That's what I just started to tell myself. Maybe there's people here who think that's the case, but I don't believe it and I'm gonna set out to prove that's not the case; that there are people like me who do things like own businesses, or they're doctors, or lawyers or teachers even.” In Episode 15 of the ‘Why Care?' podcast, I am joined by Sheri Crosby Wheeler, Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion for Fossil Group, Inc. We discuss how stereotypes and expectations based on diversity characteristics can filter into young people's minds and be internalised to create and fuel self-fulfilling prophecies. We open the episode by discussing Sheri's journey into becoming a DEI practitioner. Born in a small town in Texas, Sheri then spent a few years in Germany due to her military father's station, before moving back to Texas to begin her education. Her small town in Texas had no Black professional role models for Sheri to look up to, so as soon as possible she moved to Atlanta to seek out professionals that looked like her. Following this discussion about a lack of role models, we talk about how Sheri had no Black teachers in her entire education until her postgraduate Law course, and how having no role models (or even an understanding of lived experience) during education can have an adverse effect on a young person. Sheri shares her personal story on how her teachers and guidance counsellors attempted to dissuade her from pursuing further education outside of Texas. She felt a weight of responsibility on her shoulders to ‘prove them wrong' and pressure not return to her hometown and therefore be seen as a failure. Working in the DEI field has its ups and downs, victories and losses, and we talk about these and how to prepare for the inevitable bad days. Sheri shares how it's not just about changing the minds of people, but changing hearts too: ‘heart work'. Sometimes people will just not have the capacity to care about your work and you need to be able to identify where to focus your attention on those whose minds and hearts you can change. We also discuss the unique challenges of DEI in the retail industry, including having a widespread employee base geographically, and empowering customer-facing employees to protect themselves and uphold inclusion. Fossil is currently focusing on building up communication and offering sharing and learning opportunities for its employees across the world. Sheri then gives insight as to why Fossil has been named one of the best companies for LGBTQ+ employees to work for by the Corporate Equality Index.

Let's explore what it's like to be LGBTQ and in a same-sex relationship while living a diplomatic life. In this episode, I have a fantastic and far-ranging chat with my friend, Kevin Huntting. Kevin wrote ‘On being gay and living a diplomatic life' which was published on my blog in November 2019. The post has been widely read around the globe and has received some great feedback. We explore the issues raised in his blog about coming out and being vulnerable, how he's experienced loneliness and lack of a career and how LGBTQ diplomats and their families can be supported. About Kevin: Kevin Huntting resides in Miami with his husband who is a member of Mexico's Foreign Service. He and his husband met in San Francisco in 2006, and have had posts in Dallas, Mexico City, and Washington DC. Kevin began his career with General Electric and has spent 12 years working in various marketing areas like Customer Relationship Management (CRM), E-commerce, and Digital Marketing for Fortune 500 brands like GE, Gap Inc., Fossil Group, and the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington, DC. It was through these various life transitions that Kevin recognized there was little information focused on the needs of the global LGBTQ diplomatic and expat community. In 2016, he launched The Proud Diplomat (www.theprouddiplomat.com) a website, and social media channels dedicated to sharing the authentic stories of the LGBTQ expat community as well as insightful information impacting this community. He is currently pursuing his certification as a Professional/Personal Coach through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC).

Themen heute:    Scottsdale zur Golfdestination des Jahres 2019 gekürt  ///   Fossil Group und Wirecard starten Zusammenarbeit zur Unterstützung chinesischer mobiler Zahlungsmethoden 1. 2019 sollte Scottsdale auf der Reiseliste der Golfer stehen, denn die Wüstenstadt wurde von der International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) für die kommende Saison zur „Top Golfdestination Nordamerikas“ gekürt. Seit jeher gilt Scottsdale als Paradies für Golfer, die hervorragende Plätze wie den Troon North Pinnacle Course zu schätzen wissen und spannende Turniere lieben. Zu den berühmt-berüchtigten Waste Management Open zog es im vergangenen Jahr beispielsweise mehr als 700.000 Zuschauer. An über 330 Sonnentagen pro Jahr und vor der atemberaubenden Kulisse der Sonora-Wüste herrschen zudem die perfekten Bedingungen für unvergessliche Golferlebnisse.  Die IAGTO ist der globale Handelsverband der Golftourismusbranche, der 600 Golf-Reiseveranstalter aus mehr als 60 Ländern umfasst. Diese wurden aufgerufen, die beliebtesten Golfziele ihrer Kunden zu nominieren. Daraus resultierten Gewinner in mehreren regionalen Kategorien, die unter anderem hinsichtlich der Kriterien Kundenzufriedenheit, Qualität der Plätze sowie Unterkünfte, Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und Unterstützung durch die lokale Tourismusbranche bewertet wurden.  Die Gewinner der Awards 2019 wurden Ende Oktober 2018 während der Preisverleihung des 21st International Golf Travel Market (IGTM) in Slowenien bekannt gegeben. Zu den glücklichen Siegern durfte sich auch Scottsdale zählen.   2. Das Finanzdienstleistungs-Unternehmen Wirecard unterstützt die Fossil Group bei der Integration der beliebtesten chinesischen Zahlungsmethoden, darunter Alipay, in mehr als 150 Filialen in ganz Europa. Die Integration erfolgt in Geschäften in elf europäischen Ländern, darunter Deutschland, Italien und Großbritannien. Dank der Nutzung der Wirecard-Plattform können die Fossil-Filialen die gängigsten chinesischen Zahlungsmethoden akzeptieren und bauen damit ihr Spektrum an Payment-Optionen weiter aus. Chinesische Touristen in Europa profitieren von dieser Zusammenarbeit, da sie nun ihre Einkäufe bei Fossil mit ihren bevorzugten Payment-Methoden bezahlen können. Die Fossil Group - ein bekanntes amerikanisches Unternehmen, das sich auf Lifestyle-Accessoires spezialisiert hat - ist eine von vielen globalen Marken, die die Vorteile der flexiblen ePOS-Lösung von Wirecard nutzen.   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

What's it like to found your first startup in your late 30's after a successful Silicon Valley career where you've worked at someone of the biggest names in tech, then watch that company get acquired for $50M and next - instead of just kicking back and enjoying the fruits of your labor - going on to launch yet another startup in what is arguably a pretty crowded space? You'll get that story, plus a lot more in this conversation with the founder of Allume, an on-demand personal shopping service that matches women with experienced stylists who help them find clothing and accessories that fit their body, budget and style. Previously, the founder and CEO of Citrus Lane, a subscription box service for parents that was acquired by Care.com in 2014, this week's guest has held leadership roles at eBay, got her start at Netscape, holds two CS degrees from Stanford and currently serves on the boards of Fossil Group, The Tech Museum of Innovation and theBoardlist. Meet this week's guest, Mauria Finley, Founder and CEO of Allume. What you'll learn The market is changing, and Allume is taking advantage of the shift. With declining foot traffic in malls and the consumer demand for new brands and unique finds, find out why Mauria decided to fill in the gap and grow a successful business connecting women with real stylists who hunt down ideal fashion finds online and serve them up in curated, shoppable lookbooks that improve over time. How you'll be inspired Is stress getting a bad rap? What about the joy that comes when you're really in a flow state with the hard work you're doing day-in, day-out? In this episode, Mauria breaks the mold and posits a new idea: that stress while building a new business isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially if it's part of what's making you happy and excited every single day. What you'll tell your friends By the way, you don't have to be in your 20s to launch a successful startup. As Mauria shares in this episode of the Spirit of 608 podcast, she launched her first startup at 38, and it was acquired for $50M. Now, she's onto her next venture and says you can feel just as confident and have success (cough, maybe more) when you're "Silicon Valley old" as you can when you're young. Resource of the week From Mauria, we get an IRL resource recommendation: a close circle of female entrepreneur friends. Listen to the show for how a trusted group of fellow entrepreneurs is the one thing Mauria says anyone building a business today needs to have on lock.
