Step inside the yellow-bag world of Selfridges as host Paula Macaggi sits down with CTO Ross Beaumont to reveal how a 1906 department store stays at the cutting edge of luxury retail: from “Selfridges Unlocked” keys that trade spend for once-in-a-lifetime experiences, to ReSelfridges buy-back tech fuelling a circular economy, to AI that augments—never replaces—the human touch that turns shoppers into “Very Selfridges People.”
Ross lifts the curtain on juggling million-square-foot store ops with next-day delivery, building product-led teams that fail fast but protect customer data, and he explains why he believes Selfridges is less a shop than a cultural destination. Tune in for candid leadership lessons, backstage innovation stories, and proof that confetti cannons, skateboard parks, and Rihanna collabs coexist with rock-solid engineering.
