The Future We Want is back with a powerful conversation with our friend, colleague and inspiration, Shawn Outler. As Chief Diversity Officer at Macy’s Inc, Shawn is helping the iconic retailer harness the power of social purpose to transform the business from legacy to leadership with its new purpose platform Mission Every One.

For more than 15 years, Shawn has held virtually every role in the industry, from buyer to merchant to operations to fashion forecasting to the C-Suite. In 2011, she pioneered The Workshop at Macy’s, the retail industry’s longest running vendor development program dedicated to elevating, supporting and growing the next generation of diverse-owned merchants and vendors.

Tune in to learn what it takes for a brand to commit to bold representation and Shawn’s personal journey to arrive at this moment.
