Member Spotlight: Brandon Gough

We’re proud to recognize CBUS Retail member Brandon Gough, a fractional CEO and COO with extensive experience helping retail, franchise, and consumer brands scale.

Brandon joined CBUS Retail to connect with other experienced retail leaders and expand his network across Central Ohio. Since joining, he has appreciated the warm welcome and the opportunity to meet professionals with a wide range of expertise.

We also asked Brandon about one trend retailers should be watching. His answer: AI.

But the opportunity is not simply adding AI to the way work is already being done. Brandon believes retailers should use this moment to rethink workflows, improve how systems work together, and find better ways to use data and manage the business.

Thank you, Brandon, for bringing your experience and perspective to the CBUS Retail community.

Interested in becoming a member? We’d love to connect with you.

Retail is constantly evolving, but one thing never changes.

People want to do business with people they know, trust, and enjoy.

That's why building relationships within our retail community matters just as much as building relationships with customers.

✨ Central Ohio Retail Ecosystem Spotlight

This month we're featuring Justice Design Lab.

Justice Design Lab partners with retailers and brands to design spaces that are welcoming, engaging, and memorable. Their work is a reminder that every great shopping experience begins long before a customer reaches the checkout.

We're proud to celebrate businesses that help strengthen Central Ohio's retail community.
