Wendy Arlin

Wendy Arlin serves as Chief Accounting Officer at Kohl's, one of the largest American department store retail chains, where she oversees the company's accounting operations and financial reporting functions. Her role places her at the intersection of retail finance and the growing importance of retail media networks, as Kohl's has expanded its advertising and media monetization efforts in recent years. Arlin has built her career in retail finance and accounting, developing expertise in financial controls, reporting, and the operational finance structures that underpin large-scale retail organizations. As Kohl's has invested in its retail media capabilities and digital advertising infrastructure, finance leaders like Arlin play an increasingly important role in evaluating and supporting AdTech investments and media network monetization strategies. Her tenure at Kohl's spans significant transformation in the retail media landscape, during which major retailers have built out first-party data advertising platforms to compete with Amazon Advertising and other retail media networks. While Arlin's primary domain is accounting and finance directly, her oversight role at a major retailer makes her relevant to the broader retail media ecosystem.
