6/2/2015

Washington, D.C. - The National Retail Federation (NRF) is hiring Mark Mathews as VP of research development and industry analysis. Mathews will develop, evaluate and direct research initiatives for NRF’s Retail Research and Analysis Center, which was announced in April.



Mathews brings more than two decades of research strategy and management experience to his new post.



“In today’s fast-paced, technology-based economy, retail is moving at lightning speed and the industry needs real-time, forward-thinking research to address challenges and identify opportunities,” said Ellen Davis, senior VP of research and strategic initiatives at the NRF and the executive director of the NRF Foundation.



“Mark’s tenure leading research efforts on some of the world’s biggest issues makes him the perfect person to lead and expand NRF’s work in this space.”



Most recently, Mathews led the Market Intelligence Group (MIG) at the World Gold Council as a member of the organization’s leadership team. Prior to joining the Council, Mathews ran the research team at Palamon Capital Partners, a London-based private equity firm. Earlier in his career Mathews worked at the Nasdaq Stock Market where he was managing director, research and head of strategic planning for Nasdaq’s international operations.
