The Ecomm Manager is Now The Retail Exec
Same team. Bigger mission. Fresher look.
We’re excited to share some big news—The Ecomm Manager has officially rebranded as The Retail Exec. This isn’t just a new name. It’s a broader vision for what it means to do commerce.
The Retail Exec reflects a larger mission: to serve all retail leaders—whether you’re running a DTC brand, managing multiple storefronts, optimizing supply chains, or going the omnichannel route.
Retail doesn’t live in silos anymore, and neither should your insights.
What's new with The Retail Exec?
I mean, first off, we’re looking a bit different, with our blue and pink outfit. But, more to the point, here’s what’s new on this colorful new publication:
Expanded audience.

Our tone.
