    Digital transformation in retail is no longer just a buzzword — it’s the reality shaping creativity, operations, and human potential across the apparel industry.

    In this 3rd episode of " Work in Progress", host Caro Heide speaks with Carolina Roldán Lockyer, a leader at the intersection of technology, business, and fashion.

    Together, they explore:

    • How creativity can thrive in a data-driven environment

    • Why automation is redefining roles rather than replacing them

    • What it takes to align business and tech goals without compromising culture

    • And how empathy, engagement, and connection drive successful innovation

    This episode is a reminder that behind every system, strategy, and AI model, there are people navigating real change. And bridging business and technology means supporting them every step of the way.
