Horacio âHaioâ Barbeito, president and CEO of Old Navy, joins Retail Gets Real to reflect on a global career in retail, the responsibility of developing future talent and how leaders can navigate rapid change while keeping humanity at the center of the business.
With nearly three decades of experience spanning Argentina, the United States, Chile, Puerto Rico and Canada, Barbeitoâs leadership philosophy was shaped by working across cultures and markets. His journey â which included 26 years at Walmart and CEO roles in multiple international businesses â reinforced an early lesson: Growth happens when leaders are willing to leave their comfort zones.
