P2PI's Orlando Llerandi Announces Retirement Following a Career Built on Relationships
After a distinguished career spanning more than two decades in the retail design and retail media industry, the Path to Purchase Institute's Orlando Llerandi has announced his retirement, closing a chapter defined by relationships, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to serving the retail community.
Throughout his career, Llerandi earned the respect of retailers, consumer brands and solution providers alike by doing what he did best: bringing people together. Whether introducing new partners, helping clients achieve their goals or simply offering a thoughtful perspective, he built a reputation as someone who put relationships ahead of transactions.
During his time with the Path to Purchase Institute, Llerandi continued that legacy by helping brands and partners connect with one another while supporting the Institute’s mission of advancing the in-store marketing industry. His ability to build trust, create opportunities and advocate for his clients made him a valued ambassador for the organization.
“Orlando has always understood that our business is built on people,” said Eric Savitch, Senior Vice President and Group Brand Director at EnsembleIQ. “His network is exceptional, but what truly set him apart was the way he cared about every relationship. He was passionate about serving his clients, fiercely loyal to his friends and colleagues, and always willing to help someone succeed. Those qualities earned him tremendous respect throughout our industry.”
Although colleagues across the industry have become accustomed to seeing Llerandi at conferences, meetings and trade shows year after year, retirement will bring a different adventure. He and his wife are looking forward to spending more time together, traveling and enjoying the experiences they’ve long planned, including visits to Spain, New York and many destinations still to come.
While Llerandi may be stepping away from the convention halls and exhibit floors, the friendships he built and the impact he made will continue to be felt throughout the retail community for years to come.
Everyone at EnsembleIQ and the Path to Purchase Institute extends its heartfelt gratitude to Orlando for his years of partnership, leadership and friendship. We wish him and his family a retirement filled with good health, unforgettable adventures, and every happiness.
