Afternoon Fireside: Following The Smart Money

After persevering through an unprecedented digital commerce growth surge, global ecommerce leaders are lifting their heads to look at the road ahead. Our afternoon fireside welcomes two venture capitalists who share their perspectives on the next phase of international ecommerce growth.

We explore the key environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations guiding their DTC ecommerce portfolio companies and their future investments in global ecommerce infrastructure innovations. Learn more how their focus on sustainability is guiding their investments in fulfillment and logistical innovations designed to enhance the post-order experience for cross-border shoppers.

Our fireside conversation examines how the pandemic has transformed customer journeys in markets around the world. Scott and Crystal discuss which consumer’s buying behaviors they believe are temporary and which will be longer lasting.

We wrap up by prioritizing the “tech stack” investments ahead that will accelerate retail leaders around the next bend in the road to global ecommerce growth.
