Beyond the Boardroom: Richard Baker

Richard Baker is a young CEO determined to remake retail. He got as his start as a developer and landlord with his father's National Realty Development Corporation (NRDC). He went on to found NRDC Equity Partners which scooped up Fortunoff, Lord & Taylor, and Canada's Husdon's Bay Co. With the fresh eye of an outsider, Richard is resurrecting these tired brands and betting that retail is more than just real estate.
