Blaine Callard’s Expertise Strategic turnaround, building or rebuilding high performance teams and cultures, driving engagement and trust, motivating, and growing great businesses and brands - I have been passionately involved with consumer and retail for over 26 years having previously headed the turn-around of Harvey Norman's Irish/UK and European businesses, and now taking the reins as CEO of Australasian furniture and homewares retailer Freedom. Motivated, innovative, and empowered teams build strong companies and maintain competitive advantage. Creating the culture of innovation and inclusion is the passion of my work. I am an outspoken advocate for the longevity and continuing value of bricks-and-mortar retail - as part of a harmonized omni-channel operation. People love to shop, and the act of shopping should never to be confused with the act of buying. Shopping is recreation, inspiration, education, physical, tactile, exploratory, and social. Quality "value added" retail drives demand. A great shop is far more than shelves from which products are sold. I am occasionally asked "is retail dying?" Retail is not dying... bad retail is dying. Retail is changing. Despite the undoubted importance of a strong and vibrant digital strategy, shops continue to be at the heart of how we consume many types of products . Human-to-human is the new black, which will disrupt pure e-commerce models. Through this change, retail is further establishing itself as absolutely critical to the consumer supply chain. I am a corporate and retail problem solver, and strategist. Capabilities: Brand Rejuvenation Corporate Strategy Merchant & Retail Operations Sourcing, Supply Chain Marketing, Branding, and Communications Business Turnaround Strategic Negotiation Enterprise level Talent Management/ L&D Commercial Property Development, Negotiation, and Management Retail Construction, Store and Fixture Design & Fit out Project Management Business Coaching & Mentoring Management and Financial reporting
