This week, we welcome Mike Geller to the show! Mike has built a career at the intersection of technology and retail, working with some of the world’s biggest brands, including PepsiCo, Newell Brands, and Amazon. He started as a founder, selling one of his first startups to John Sculley (former CEO of Apple & PepsiCo), and later helped shape e-commerce strategies at Fortune 500 companies. He is currently a Non-Executive Director at Brimar Industries.
Mike shares how he built and sold a startup right out of college (2:15), the unexpected path that led him to PepsiCo (5:42), and what it took to build a digital commerce strategy at a global brand (9:36). He also discusses the transition from tech companies to brand-side roles (12:54), the evolving omnichannel shopping experience (21:32), and how companies decide whether to build in-house or partner with vendors (27:18).
