Chief Merchandising Officer
Spreetail

Everyday, as Spreetail's Chief Merchandising Officer, I get to partner with some of the smartest people in ecommerce to make this company the best ecommerce accelerator of big & bulky products in the world. As a leader at Spreetail, I oversee our strategic partnerships, drive revenue growth, and build our community. My mission is twofold:
(1) Simplify and scale online sales for our brand partners
(2) Support Spreetailers and their families by fostering an inclusive and nurturing work environment
The marketplace space is a truly special place with tremendous size and many different brands and operators. Spreetail, itself, is the largest SFP partner in the US and with a scaled distribution network we are big enough to have a large impact but small enough to be entrepreneurial, learn and growth together.
Through my six years with the company, I've gotten tremendous enjoyment out of seeing team members develop and grow; and also from seeing our brands grow up in ecommerce and develop their brands so they can take increasing market share in their categories. I also get tremendous enjoyment out of being active (just got back from a hike in the Grand Canyon) and in spending time with my wife and our three children. I received my BS in Business Admin from John Brown University (Summa CL) and got my MBA from the Gies College of Business, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (Valedictorian).

Expert-Led Think Tanks

Our Expert-Led Think Tanks resonate with attendees because of the open and honest dialogue that takes place. Everyone feels like they have a voice in the room in a safe environment to share their perspectives and learn from others.

You’ll find a purposeful mix of recognized industry thought leaders and experienced peers shedding new light on consumer trends, ecommerce, innovative technologies and many more ways retailers are meeting customers’ needs now and in the future. This year we have extended the time of our Think Tank Sessions due to the popularity of these important conversations.
