1. You’ve spent almost the entirety of your professional career with the same company. What were some of the specific experiences that you felt prepared you for your current remit as Chief Customer Officer?
2. Would you share with our audience what you love most about the CCO role and what you find to be some of the major challenges in today’s omnichannel world, post-pandemic?

With the exception of Amazon and Walmart, these are still largely managed at the trade level. What still needs to be true before any of the “other” RMNs can make it into the strategic investment plan for national brands? Is it scale, is it full funnel capabilities, is it measurement? What?
