Session: Navigating an Acquihire: Culture Transformation in the Retail Space
In 2017 I was the Director of CRM at a small tech startup (Munchery). Now, ~4 years later having navigated an acquihire, I am now the VP of Marketing at a multi-billion dollar private company. Through this journey I've put in significant time, energy and investment in both our marketing capabilities to become more digital & tech savvy to transforming our culture to drive customer and team member growth.My background includes time at both large traditional retailers moving into the eCommerce space (Walmart) as well as tech-organizations (Yelp) and startups (Munchery), to now leading Marketing and marketing transformation at a private organization.
Key Takeaways
- Culture transformation can be incredibly challenging to navigate, especially as a woman! Finding your voice in a powerful and impactful way is key to building connections and relationships to inspire change.
