Large retailers like Walmart are in some ways at an advantage when it comes to implementing new technology like AI that depends on data, with insights being constantly aggregated across stores, products and customers.

He shares the lessons he’s learned there and from previous roles at Uber and eBay about implementing new technology effectively for internal teams and external customers. 

We talk about the future of SEO and GenAI, the end of the cookie, the best ways to measure and predict, making a better, more addictive app for the company, and more.
