Nick Harbaugh is VP of the Americas at Flexecution, a firm that provides project management services for retailers like Ulta Beauty and Target. Harbaugh is a 25-year veteran of retail project management, even founding his own company, Retail Marketing Services, to offer construction management services to companies like Walmart, Samsung, and Home Depot. He left in 2016 and joined Flexecution. Here’s how that’s been going so far.
How would you describe Flexecution to someone who doesn’t work in retail? Flexecution helps retailers and brands look the way they want to the everyday consumer. This can range from installing every fixture in a new store to removing old fixtures and installing new fixtures during a remodel. Or it can be assisting an international brand by installing the same display or signage in stores across numerous countries.
What’s your favorite project you’ve worked on? We completed a nationwide rollout, installing holiday signage in nearly 600 Sam’s Club stores in just a few weeks.
One trend that you’re excited by: Self-checkouts are a hot item, especially considering Covid. We help the manufacturers and retailers by installing these systems (along with signage), which ultimately eliminates touchpoints.
Hands down, the best fast-food restaurant chain is...In-N-Out—Double-double, Animal Style.
