Matt Katz Article Featured in Retail Dive “The health, social and economic pandemic triad brings a watershed moment to retail in 2021”

Matt Katz, Managing Partner and Head of Retail & Consumer Packaged Goods authored an article published in Retail Dive looking at the health, social, and economic impact of the pandemic on retail and why retailers can’t focus on getting shoppers back into stores until these concerns are solved.
