Steve Dee shared thisArianne Parisi, Ryan Waymire, and I kicked off the holiday season today by welcoming retail reporters to our New York Design Office. What a great morning taking everyone through what customers can expect from Kohl's this holiday. Delivering a great holiday for our customers takes incredible cross-functional teamwork. I'm proud of how our technology organization has partnered across the business to set our stores, associates, and digital channels up for a strong season. A big thanks to our teams for all the hard work behind the scenes to bring it all together! #Kohls #LifeAtKohls

Steve Dee shared thisSpending time with our store, distribution center, and e-fulfillment center teams this week was one of the highlights of Associate Appreciation Week. Hearing directly from associates is one of the best reminders of why we do what we do. Every conversation reinforces the importance of creating solutions that make work simpler, faster and more intuitive—so our associates can spend more time doing what they do best: serving our customers. A sincere thank you to every Kohl's associate for your dedication, feedback and everything you do each day. #LifeatKohls #Kohls

Steve Dee shared thisI had the chance to spend time at Google Next last week, and it was exciting to see how quickly AI is becoming part of the everyday experience across retail. At Kohl's, we’re working alongside Google to create tools that better support both our customers and our teams. From our new Gift Finder that helps customers turn ideas into the perfect gift to a new AI analytics tool that makes it easier for our teams to work with data and move faster. Grateful for the Tech, Digital, and Marketing teams who are driving this work forward every day - it’s exciting to be building what’s next together. https://lnkd.in/dA422k5i #LifeatKohls #Kohls

There’s a genuine family atmosphere at Kohl’s, and I’ve felt that from day one in how people show up for each other and in the warm welcome I’ve received. Our Technology team brings that culture to life every day through a commitment to the people we serve. Whether it’s our customers, store associates, or the teams working behind the scenes, every experience matters, and that belief guides our work. We’re building momentum in 2026 and working on some of the latest and most exciting technologies that will continue to advance the experience for our customers and associates.

Steve Dee reacted on thisSteve Dee reacted on thisYesterday, Ryan Waymire, Steve Dee, and I welcomed the retail press for a first look at the season. The big idea is simple: holiday shopping should feel a little more magical and a lot less stressful. The North Kohl's brings that spirit to life across our customer touchpoints, from our stores and digital experience to social, gifting, and the moments in between. I'm so proud of the creativity, energy, and heart the team has put into making this season special. I cannot wait for customers to experience it. There's plenty more holiday magic ahead. Thanks to ADWEEK for sharing a closer look at our holiday campaign. https://lnkd.in/gaZGaNuy See you at The North Kohl's. ✨ #Kohls #LifeAtKohls

Steve Dee liked thisSteve Dee liked thisAt Converge 2026, I shared two shifts I believe will define the next phase of AI. First, AI is getting better at understanding intent and delivering personalization at scale. Second, AI is democratizing access to information and putting more people in a position to gather insights, make decisions and build solutions themselves. I enjoyed taking those ideas further with Pratyush Kumar, especially what changes for engineers when more people become builders, which skills and mindsets matters most and what it takes to move from capable models to dependable systems that can work responsibly in the real world.

The best online shopping experiences don't just help shoppers find products. They help them make decisions. During our recent Agentic Commerce Roundtable, Richard Spencer, Chief Digital & Technology Officer at Belk, shared how Belk is using AI to bridge the gap between the personalized service customers expect in-store and the digital experience online. Rather than creating another transactional touchpoint, the goal was to make expert guidance available whenever shoppers need it. Watch the clip to hear how Belk is rethinking digital customer experiences. Watch the full webinar here: https://okt.to/OFackt.

Kohl's didn’t just expand SEPHORA. They upgraded the operating system inside the building. Kohl’s is rolling Sephora into more stores because beauty is performing. Traffic is younger. Baskets are stronger. Margins are healthier. That’s the headline. The more interesting story sits under the floorboards… Sephora doesn’t just bring product. They bring Beauty Insider. Clienteling tools. SKU-level behavioral data. Associate tablets. Shade-matching history. Replenishment cycles. That is a very different operating system than traditional department store merchandising. So now you’ve got a shared box with layered infrastructure: 🧾 Two loyalty ecosystems. 📈 Two data environments. 🏬 One physical checkout moment. The real question isn’t whether beauty works… It’s who owns the customer graph when the transaction clears. Because once you can reconcile loyalty ID, media exposure, SKU-level inventory and margin, you’re not just running a shop-in-shop. You’re running a closed-loop retail media engine inside a legacy store. Tom Kingsbury has been clear about profitable growth at Kohl’s. Beauty supports that because the margin structure can absorb personalization tech and in-store media in a way denim never could. The visible win is makeup. The structural win is interoperable data. Department stores don’t need prettier fixtures… They need better data architecture. That’s what this partnership is really testing.

For J.Crew Group CEO Libby Wadle, emerging technology like artificial intelligence should only be used to enhance an existing experience. At the 2026 Fast Company Innovation Festival, Wadle and Chief Information Officer Danielle Schmelkin discussed the development of J. Crew's upcoming AI-enabled shopping assistant and, of course, the iconic roll neck sweater. "Our customer really moved with us," Wadle said. "Because we story tell through imagery, moving onto a website with new technology really allowed us to sort of light that up even further."

Ever notice how the most impactful changes in retail often hinge on a single hiring decision? Kohl’s just announced Elliott Rodgers as their next Chief Operating Officer—he’ll step in this September, taking the reins on enterprise operations, stores, supply chain, procurement, and more 👔. Rodgers isn’t just another big name. Twenty-plus years navigating the complexities of retail, tech, and finance means he’s likely seen every twist this industry can throw at him. From Foot Locker to Target to Ulta Beauty, his resume reads like a who’s who of operational leadership. What’s especially interesting is how Kohl’s is betting on a COO with a track record not only in efficiency and team leadership, but in full-scale transformation. The timing says a lot. Amid fierce competition and shifting customer habits, Kohl’s seems determined to double down on operational excellence as the backbone for their next phase. Do moves like this make you more optimistic about Kohl’s transformation, or do you see challenges that fresh leadership alone can’t solve? #RetailLeadership #TransformationStrategy #Kohls #OperationsExcellence #IndustryMoves

AI adoption is exploding, but ROI is not keeping up. What stands out to me is that companies are not struggling with access to AI. They are struggling with alignment, integration, and execution. The real challenge is not adding more tools. It is making sure those tools actually move the needle. The focus has to be on connecting AI to real outcomes: better workflows, smarter decision-making, and measurable business impact. That is where AI becomes more than a trend and turns into real value. This article highlights why that gap exists and what it takes to close it. I am curious how others are approaching AI inside their organizations. What has been your biggest barrier: alignment, execution, or adoption? https://lnkd.in/gUHDUCAb

Tammylynne Jonas steps in as CIO at Rentokil Terminix. Her career reflects what modern CIO roles increasingly demand: global scale, operational depth, and the ability to turn technology into a business enabler—not a cost center. Before this, Tammylynne served as Global CIO at Donaldson and Purpose Brands, LLC Brands, and held senior technology leadership roles at Couche-Tard, Holiday Stationstores, and Kohl's’s, leading complex digital, payments, and omnichannel transformations. Early grounding at Accenture shaped the execution muscle that shows up in large, multi-market environments. Wishing Tammylynne success as expectations from the CIO role continue to evolve. #CIO #TechnologyLeadership #DigitalTransformation #EnterpriseIT #LeadershipMoves

Kohl's is officially entering a new era for its private label portfolio with the launch of its "By Kohl’s" campaign. The initiative is designed to give the retailer’s proprietary brands more visibility and a more defined identity across all shopping channels. According to Chief Marketing Officer Christie Raymond, the "connected platform" will highlight the specific attributes that make these brands unique, from performance apparel to thoughtful design. As retailers increasingly lean into exclusive assortments to drive loyalty, Kohl's is betting that a more cohesive brand story will resonate with today's shoppers. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gB72SCCg #RetailNews #PrivateLabel #Kohls #BrandStrategy #RetailMarketing #StoreBrands #ByKohls
