This week, Dave welcomes Jyoti Malik, Senior Director of eCommerce at Belkin, to discuss how brands can leverage data & automation to stay competitive. With over 15 years in eCommerce and omni-channel strategy, Malik shares insights on the evolution of eCommerce, retail media, and AI-driven optimization, what has changed and what remains constant.
She begins by reflecting on the early days of eCommerce, when it was more of an experiment than a necessity (4:28). As the landscape has evolved, automation has become a key optimization tool (6:19), helping brands expand their reach. Jyoti dives into the impact of AI on search (11:45) and how brands need to think about incorporating AI capabilities.
Later, she and Dave discuss the trajectory of retail media (16:45) and its growing influence across industries. Throughout the conversation, one theme remains paramount: the customer. Malik emphasizes that the most effective way to grow a business is to work backward from the customer, understanding how they shop and what drives their decisions (23:57).
