We proudly honor and celebrate the courageous men and women who have served in the U.S. Military and extend gratitude for their dedicated service to our country. In recognition of Veterans Day, we asked team members to share their reflections on what being part of the military has meant to them and how it has shaped their lives and work today. - Brandon Tilley, Senior Transportation Planner: "Learning the Marine Corps values and leadership traits pushed me to develop into the leader and team member I am today. Semper fidelis!” - Chris Graves, Director, Senior Domain Architect: "Being part of the military was massively impactful to my life, mostly helping me understand the strength of a well-functioning team and how to lift up others.” - Carlos Rodriguez, Director of Product Management, Loyalty: "My experiences in Basic, Tech School, and at various military installations taught me invaluable life lessons. They shaped me into the person I am today. I carry these lessons into my work, personal life, and interactions with family, friends, and others.” - Jeffrey Smith, Lead Engineer, Finance Technology: "A life of service to others, whether here at Foot Locker or in the military, should be our highest aspiration and what brings contentment.” Thank you to all the veterans for your unwavering courage and sacrifice! #TheHeartofSneakers #VeteransDay

I’m deeply honored to have received the “Retail Excellence Award” from the Jay H. Baker Retailing Center at The Wharton School. It’s truly humbling to be recognized alongside such visionary leaders who continue to inspire me. Thank you to every colleague and mentor—past and present—who has been part of my journey, and especially to the Foot Locker team, some of whom I was fortunate to have join me. Your support is what makes our success possible as we celebrate 50 years at the heart of sneaker culture in this dynamic industry. Receiving this award is a reminder that learning never stops. The retail industry is evolving rapidly, and as leaders, we must adapt. I still see myself as a student—always discovering new challenges and opportunities. Thank you again to the Wharton School of Business for this profound honor. Your legacy of excellence has influenced culture and business for over a century, and I’m proud to be part of it.
