Season 1 Trailer

Hi I’m Paul Zahra, CEO of the Australian Retailers Association – and welcome to Retail Therapy – a podcast proudly brought to you by American Express.

 The ARA is Australia’s largest and oldest retail association, representing around 7,500 independent, national and international members and has been the trusted voice for Australia’s $340 billion retail sector, which employs more than 1.2 million people.  As Australia’s premier retail body, the ARA works by recruiting, informing, protecting, advocating, educating and saving money for its members.  

​Each episode, I’ll be chatting with a leader in Australia’s retail industry, right here in the AMEX Lounge, including the CEOs of some of the biggest retailers in Australia and across the globe. We’ll be finding out what makes them tick… What defines their leadership style… And how they got to the top of their game.

 So join me for some Retail Therapy, as we ask these questions and more – and navigate our way through the retail industry – Australia’s largest private sector employer.
