The Defiant 25 | 2020
The second edition of The Defiant 25 is composed of brands and retailers who made early investments, deployed change management, and took a long-term vision to the business. In turn, these companies have displayed resilience in the face of current headwinds. The Lead and partners believe the companies selected will continue to defy norms and emerge from 2020-2021 in a position of strength.
