Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S17 E06: Debbie Propst, President of Global Retail at MillerKnoll
Q: When you joined, what was the state of Herman Miller's retail operation?
Debbie explains that the brand had a very limited retail footprint—only a few stores (New York City, Tokyo) and a single US website—before the merger, and that she focused on rapidly digitizing and expanding omni-channel capabilities to scale across the MillerKnoll portfolio.
S17 E02: Ons Gherib, SVP of Design & Construction at Belmond
Q: What's the advantage of renovating existing assets versus pursuing growth?
Renovating historic assets allows deeper architectural storytelling, preserves authenticity, and enables deeper execution of a brand's vision across a network of landmarks, rather than chasing growth through asset-light strategies.
S17 E02: Ons Gherib, SVP of Design & Construction at Belmond
Q: What was your role when they brought you on and what were you tasked to do?
He described structuring a large design team and establishing a clear, multi-year plan for renovating properties across hotels, trains, and experiences to deliver consistent quality and a unified Belmond design language.
S17 E02: Ons Gherib, SVP of Design & Construction at Belmond
Q: What materials best convey slow luxury in hotel interiors?
The guest highlighted warmth, layered fabrics, daylight, and a balance of modern interior details with respect for heritage; the emphasis is on creating a feeling of being enveloped in a space rather than relying on a single material.
S17 E02: Ons Gherib, SVP of Design & Construction at Belmond
Q: What is your take on the current state of the luxury industry?
The guest emphasized that slow luxury is a defining ethos that differentiates Belmond, focusing on meaningful guest connections with place, culture, and people, and that experiences, not just products, drive value in luxury today.
