Carol Spieckerman Named as 2026 Essential Retail Thought Leader

Clarity Consulting named Spieckerman Retail founder Carol Spieckerman as a 2026 Essential Retail Thought Leaders honoree. The curated directory showcases 50 thought leaders who represent the most credible, active, and practically valuable voices shaping retail leadership in the United States. According to founder Jonno White, the purpose of the list is to “surface the people who genuinely deserve to be far better known inside every retail organisation in the country. Rather than recycling the same handful of names that appear on every list, the focus is on practitioners, researchers, coaches, and community leaders who are actively contributing to how US retail thinks about its most important asset: the people who lead its teams.”
