Insights from CES: Retail and Personal Reflections

January is always the month of the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. So it’s fitting before this month ends that Jim talks with a CMO who knows lots about consumer electronics trends than most. Jim's guest this week on The CMO Podcast is Jennie Weber, the Chief Marketing Officer of Best Buy, the $40 billion plus in sales consumer electronics retailer. Best Buy–with its 1000 plus stores, ecommerce platform, retail media network, and assorted services–is the world’s largest consumer electronics specialty retailer. A long way from its founding in 1966 by two gentlemen in St Paul, Minnesota.

Jennie has spent most of her career at Best Buy–about 16 years, with an additional two years at Best Buy subsidiary Geek Squad. She was appointed CMO roughly two years ago. Jennie grew up across the upper western United States, and graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a degree in history. She’s a skier, a hiker, a road biker, and a mother of four. Tune in for an episode with a CMO with fresh insights about this year’s CES, as well as how to make marketing a profit center.
