#662: Making your returns strategy a competitive advantage with Katherine Lehman, ReturnBear

The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström®: Expert Mode Marketing Technology, AI, & CX

We are here at ShopTalk 2025 at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas and seeing and hearing all about the latest in retail, e-commerce, and more.


How much are your product returns costing your business—and how much opportunity are you leaving on the table by treating returns as a cost center instead of a competitive advantage?


Today, I’m excited to welcome Katherine Lehman, CMO of ReturnBear, a leader in reverse logistics and sustainable returns solutions. At ReturnBear, she’s helping brands turn returns from a logistical headache into a strategic advantage.
