Beyond the hype: How AI fuels speed, insight, and story-doing

Описание: Retail leaders want momentum, not more dashboards.

For our third episode of our Retail Intelligence in Action Series, host Ron Thurston sits with Djalal Lougouev, CSO of Ometria, and Pri Shumate, former CMO of the Miami Dolphins and alum of Nike and Airbnb, to show how teams talk to their data for answers in minutes, use AI as a validator for faster decisions, and turn brand purpose into story doing that moves the numbers.

Hear how McLaren themed grandstands, luxury networking signals, and product marketing focus lifted revenue without discounting, why small cross functional pirate teams ship wins quickly, and where human creativity remains the source of the disruptive idea while AI accelerates execution.
