Industries on the Rise - Alisa Stone, Senior Director and Facility Leader at Macy's

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Alisa Stone, the dynamic leader of Macy’s new Customer Fulfillment Center in China Grove, North Carolina. With a rich career leading operations at Walmart, Gap Inc., and Target, Alisa shares what brought her full circle back to Macy’s and why this project is more than just a facility — it’s a homecoming. We dive into her leadership philosophy, the inclusive workplace culture she’s building from the ground up, and what made Rowan County the perfect place for this game-changing investment. Alisa also opens up about her personal values (Nana, water enthusiast, perpetual learner), why she chose to live in the community she serves, and what she looks for in future Macy’s team members.
