After just under a year in charge of RetailDetail, CEO Bie Buelens has decided to step down and return to her first love, retail. Founder Jorg Snoeck takes charge of the company again.
Positive result
Today, 8 December, Buelens’ mandate as RetailDetail CEO ends, and the Chief Executive has decided to leave the company for her first love, the retail itself. She does so with a good feeling: financial results are positive, the team is stable, and the company has enjoyed a lot of new and successful initiatives regarding HR and Masterclasses. The post-pandemic period has also seen a return to a series of highly-rated events, with as crowning jewel the fully sold-out RetailDetail Night, the first following a completely new concept.
“Bie has sped up the organisation, both in RetailDetail as in our knowledge centre RetailHub”, Snoeck said. “We have come through a difficult year unscathed. Now I am ready again, with new projects to lead the company into a new phase of growth.”
On 12 December, Bie Buelens will start a project-based tenure at e5 as COO.
