Minds That Inspire: Creating Brand Equity through Fashion Diplomacy & Retail

The Stern Real Estate Club is excited to welcome Devin Gilmartin, CEO of The Canvas Global, for our second "Minds That Inspire, series event on Wednesday, October 29 at NYU Stern.

The Canvas Global is a pioneering retail platform that leverages its brick-and-mortar presence to amplify artists, foster cross-cultural exchange, and advance “fashion diplomacy” — while simultaneously building meaningful global brand equity. It is a curated community of forward-thinking brands that align with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals – from sustainability to social equity.

Devin Gilmartin, a NYU Gallatin alum, previously spoke at the "Future of Luxury Retail" Conference at Stern last February, hosted by Professor Thomaï Serdari, PhD, Professor of Marketing and Director of the Luxury & Retail MBA. Professor Serdari will be facilitating this fireside conversation, offering her expertise and unique perspective on the intersections of retail, luxury, and cultural diplomacy.

This discussion will offer Stern MBAs the opportunity to gain insight into how innovative brands like The Canvas are redefining the role of retail in shaping identity, influence, and growth across global markets.
