The Direct 60 Alumni Continue to Lead the Direct-to-Consumer Pivot and Transform the Industry.

Over the past few years, The Direct 60 List has taken on a life of its own. Now with 118 members representing almost 100 brands, the Direct 60 alumni community has shown the temperament, leadership, knowledge and skills to help their brands win at brand-to-consumer. 

With the growing maturity of the direct-to-consumer business model, these leaders continue to build capabilities, invest in innovation and foster a data-driven culture within their organizations. Since we featured these executives on the list some have moved on to transform other companies while others have taken on greater responsibilities. We are proud of their accomplishments and frequently feature them at the Lead Summit stage to share their wisdom. 

Join The 2023 Honorees, these alumni, and more at The Direct 60 Forum on October 19th, 2023. For more information and to apply to attend, click HERE.
