The Interview: Pandora, SVP Omnichannel Retail Kate Walsh

In this episode, host Karl McKeever is joined by Kate Walsh, SVP
Omnichannel Retail for Pandora.


As it celebrates 40 years in business, Pandora remains loved by
consumers and employees around the world, in equal measure.


Delve deeper into the fabric of the Danish jewellery brand and it
is possible to understand why this retail gem continues to be so
successful.


Like the brand’s national birthplace, Pandora is also constructed
on a human scale. Something that has put it in good stead to face
the global challenge from the recent pandemic, and to face the
changes ahead.


The brand continues to make its own way in a highly competitive
world; something that its SVP Omnichannel Retail Kate Walsh also
knows how to do all too well. Having started in retail management
at an early age, she went on to appear on the UK series of The
Apprentice, before eventually embarking on a near-decade-long
career with Pandora.


She reveals the charm of working for this iconic jewellery brand,
how it is repurposing and revitalising its offer for the future,
the lessons she’s learned about how to do business better, and
her views on whether The Apprentice is as good as it used to be.
