Why retail

Retail is the industry that raised me.

Retail Leadership Lounge is how I give back to the leaders carrying it now.

Retail leaders are an underserved and overburdened community. RLL exists to help career-minded leaders be at their best so they can give their best to their teams—and improve the quality of leadership across the industry.

Most store managers learned to lead from another store manager. The way you lead now is what your team learns, and some of them will run stores of their own.

About the founder

Experience is perspective, not prescription.

John Constantino II spent more than 30 years in retail leadership, including 24 years with the Giorgio Armani Corporation's A|X Armani Exchange division. He rose from Assistant Manager to Director of Retail, leading up to 24 stores, $95 million in annual revenue, and more than 800 employees.

RLL brings that perspective into a room where leaders can think more clearly—not receive someone else's answer.
