David Katz

Chief Marketing Officer Randa Apparel & Accessories

David J. Katz is an alchemist disguised as a CMO—transforming data, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence into consumer behavior at scale.

As Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Randa Apparel & Accessories, a global leader producing clothing and accessories for 30+ brands including Levi's, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and Haggar, David leads both marketing strategy and the company's AI initiatives across 1,200 employees and 20,000 retail touchpoints worldwide.

He holds degrees in neuroscience from Tufts and business from Harvard, which explains his peculiar obsession with what makes Pavlov's dog salivate and people click "buy now."

David has been recognized as a retail industry influencer by The Wall Street Journal, CNN, The New York Times, and WWD. He's a LinkedIn Top Voice, co-author of the best-selling "Design for Response," and believes innovation only counts when it generates invoices.
