OFFBounds Retail

In this special episode of OFFBounds, Paula Macaggi invites you to Singapore for NRF APAC 2025, the region’s biggest retail event, to explore why Asia-Pacific is the most powerful engine of global retail growth. With 60% of the world’s population and 3.49 billion people expected to join the middle class by 2030, APAC is transforming how the world shops.

Paula is joined by Ryf Quail, Managing Director of Comexposium, and David Mann, Chief Economist APAC at Mastercard, to unpack the region’s complexity, economic resilience, and the retail innovation emerging from markets like Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and India. From geopolitical shifts to the rise of cross-border marketplaces, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand where retail is headed next.

What is OFFBounds Retail?

OFFBounds is where the world’s retail and commerce leaders go beyond headlines to talk about the decisions, strategies, and ideas shaping the future of the industry.

Every week, Paula Macaggi sits down in person with executives from leading brands, retailers, and technology companies for candid conversations about leadership, innovation, growth, and the realities behind building modern commerce businesses.

More than a traditional interview show, OFFBounds explores the human side of leadership: the risks taken, the lessons learned, the moments of reinvention, and the perspectives that rarely make it into press releases or conference stages.

Recorded in person with premium audio and video production, OFFBounds brings global commerce executives together in conversations designed to inform, challenge, and inspire the next generation of industry leaders.
