Teams of undergrads presented marketing plans last week to Coach CEO Victor Luis as part of Staci Thomas’ Marketing Management course at Olin. The St. Louis Post Dispatch Fashion Editor sat in on the sessions and reported on the encounter that allowed the CEO and students to exchange ideas about the business of retailing. Luis encouraged students to consider retail as a career instead of the more traditional tracks of finance and technology.
