he coveted Markopoulos Award represents more than recognition for
distinctive career accomplishments. For its recipients, it is an honor to
be acknowledged and respected by their peers-The Markopolous Circle.
The award honors the legacy of the late Andrew Markopolous. His
tenure as senior vice president of visual merchandising and store design
for the department store division of Dayton-Hudson set the bar high for
achievements in store design and visual merchandising. His work elevated the field from a trade to an art form.
Each new recipient joins The Markopolous Circle. With this honor
comes the tremendous responsibility of selecting future winners. Honorees are nominated by their peers and selected by The Markopolous
Circle based on their lifetime achievements and overall career accomplishments, their ability to innovate and inspire, their contributions to the
success of a retailer or company, their ability to nurture and mentor young talent, and their ongoing contributions
and support of the retail design and visual industries.
The 21st recipient, Linda Lombardi, head of global store design for Godiva Chocolatier Inc., has enjoyed a diverse
design career that has included working with global brands and companies at pivotal moments in their legacies to
help them innovate and stay at the top of their games.
Growing up in Westchester, N.Y., Lombardi's passion for retail began in high school at the local mall. It wasn't
due to teenage shopping sprees, but rather embracing her surroundings at her part-time job. She was captivated by
fashion and the process of the floor and window displays being constantly changed. This experience left an indelible mark that guided her to pursue this passion and explore the professional possibilities of the retail world at the
Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT).
From playing a part in window theater with Saks Fifth Avenue to exploring the meaning of hospitality with
The Inn at Perry Cabin to churning out retail experiences with Liz Claiborne and elevating the brand experience for
