For six years, Zipline has spotlighted operational leaders at the Women in Retail Leadership Summit. Sparking Real Change in Retail Operations: 5 Stories from the Women in Retail Leadership Summit celebrates five powerful stories of transformation—led by the women reshaping retail from the inside out.

What you’ll find inside:

  • Honest, unfiltered stories from women leading real operational change—from store floors to C-suites
  • Hard-won lessons on navigating complexity, advocating for teams, and pushing through resistance
  • A fresh look at what leadership looks like when it’s built on clarity, courage, and connection
  • Practical insights you can take back to your own team—no matter where you sit in the organization
  • Inspiration to take a risk, ask a question, or spark a new kind of conversation

These stories don’t just reflect where retail is going—they show who’s taking it there. It’s a celebration of the women shaping the industry—and a spark for those ready to lead what’s next.
