About Matt Delly
Retail is my craft, customers are my passion, and transformation is my track record.I’m a purpose-driven retail executive with over 20 years of experience leading merchandising, pricing, assortment, and supply chain at powerhouse retailers like Target, Total Wine & More, and The 99 Store.From launching omnichannel “Deal Drops” campaigns that generated $100M+ to building private label assortments that drove 150bp margin gains, I blend strategic vision with data and execution to create impact.My journey spans global retail operations in India, digital acceleration, and turnaround leadership in extreme value retail. I’ve scaled teams of 100+, owned $1B+ P & Ls, and grown customer-focused assortments in Grocery, Wine, Fresh, and GM.Whether growing Hispanic grocery share, leading wine category innovation, or revitalizing closeout models, I lead with curiosity, courage, and a bias for action.
