Executive Roundtable: Agentic AI in Action at Debenhams Group
UiPath hosted an exclusive executive roundtable at NRF featuring Dan Finley, CEO of Debenhams Group, alongside Michael Gordon, Retail Account Executive at UiPath, bringing together retail leaders for a candid discussion on applying agentic AI at scale.
Dan shared first-hand insights into Debenhams Group’s agentic AI transformation, outlining how the organization is using intelligent automation to drive measurable impact across its pricing and promotions strategy. The discussion explored how the solution helps optimize sales, stock, and pricing decisions across multiple brands — while improving demand visibility, accelerating decision-making, and enhancing end-to-end planning.
The session reinforced a critical theme heard throughout NRF: retailers are moving beyond experimentation and are looking for practical, scalable AI solutions that deliver clear commercial outcomes.
