SRA Up Close & Personal with the C-Suite
SRA’s Up Close & Personal with the C-Suite on 9 June 2022 was a huge success!
The event started on a high note with Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s 10 student models parading two trendy Superdry collections on the runway amid loud cheers from the 200-strong audience. Courtesy of FJ Benjamin, the attendees and student models also received Superdry vouchers to upgrade their wardrobe!
Mr Douglas Benjamin, Chief Executive Officer of FJ Benjamin (Singapore), the first in the series of influential C-Suite leaders to be featured, shared how he entered the retail industry, the changing face of the retail landscape and exciting job opportunities available beyond the sales floor.
In the Q&A session facilitated by Mr David Lee, Director, Talent Development of SRA, Mr Benjamin also shared his experience and gave candid responses to questions from both the physical and online audience.
From the feedback provided by the students, they are definitely inspired by Mr Benjamin’s sharing and are viewing the retail industry from a new perspective!
| “After the sharing, I learnt that the retail industry can be fun to venture into as well. We get to meet new people and experience new things. It is very different from the conventional 9-5 office jobs.” |
| “It’s interesting to understand how the future of retail will develop and what companies are currently doing to evolve and adapt to tech changes.” |
