Carrie Barclay

President at ASG

Westerville, Ohio, United States

Revolutionizing the way retailers think about real estate – from location to valuation to strategic positioning – I help retail leaders merge traditional methods of reaching customers with new technologies and partner with global retailers and investors to enable effective decision-making to identify strategic business opportunities and secure locations that contribute to long-term success, stability, and profitability.

Known for building strong, iconic brands, I provide the insight required to build a brand’s real estate positioning, strengthen strategic planning, and deliver the tools global retailers must have to leverage their unique strengths and capitalize on new opportunities. I quickly and effectively distill complex information into transformative solutions for retail strategy. With significant expertise in not only transforming companies, but creating impactful and motivated business teams, I encourage change that drives revenue, customer satisfaction, and assets.

Specialties:
• P&L Leadership
• Comprehensive retail strategy development
• Global Brand Marketing & Management
• Retail Innovation
