"Among the thousands of colleagues I have worked with throughout my career, Renee Hartmann stands out among the very best. She is smart, insightful, thorough, quick, charismatic, and I have watched people young and old, junior and senior, as well as many CEOs, gravitate to her. Next Generation Retail is a treasure trove of insight for anyone wanting to build a retail business while attracting, converting and retaining consumers along the way.

"I had known Deb for 15 years when I first experienced her as a top Wall Street retail analyst. Her take on the consumer and investor was always deeply rooted in data mining, and her sage wisdom on strategy was a distinguishing element of her coverage. I have always been impressed with her critical thinking prowess and how she approaches our industry with a high learning orientation, be that with retail technology, supply chain, or data analytics. Her expanded view of the global economy has also influenced her perspective on sustainability and the transformative trends that retailers must get right in the future. This book is a must read for retail professionals and what lies ahead." * Jeff Gennette, CEO and Chairman, Macy's *
