Our first Founders on the Floor guest has done more retail than most industries see in a lifetime. Nigel Rex Bird, Managing Director of Inventory Prime Asia in Bangkok and South Africa, has spent 48 years in retail and wholesale across England, South Africa, India, Singapore and Thailand.
He has run Fresh, Hypermarkets, Merchandising and Distribution Centre operations. He has been a Store Manager, a Regional Manager, a Hypermarket General Manager, an Executive General Manager, a Senior Vice President, and a Chief Operating Officer. What connects all of it is people: he has spent a career building and training the management teams that make stores work.
This short prelude sets the stage. The full conversation is coming soon, and it follows one rule, the RSJ rule: no press releases, no rehearsed answers, just the real story.
