How are retailers and consumer products companies adapting to rapid shifts in consumer behavior, omnichannel pressure, and the rise of AI? In this episode of SFNet presents In The Know, “Consumers Change and Retailers Adapt,” host Barry Bobrow speaks with David Silverman, Senior Director in Fitch Ratings’ corporates group, whose coverage spans a wide range of retail companies, including specialty apparel and hardlines.
Because the asset-based market is deeply tied to consumer and retail businesses, understanding these shifts is critical.
