We are a team of business, technology, digital, AI and transformation leaders who are passionate about bringing the benefits of generative AI and agentic AI workflows to the retail industry.
25+ years across retail, consumer operations and technology. Senior operating roles at Albertsons, Disney and DISH, spanning digital, merchandising, e-commerce, digital marketing and operations. Ex McKinsey; serves on the board of an NYSE-listed retailer.
Every role below is a founding role. You will build the thing, install it, and stay long enough to see whether it worked.
Owns how the whole system fits together: shared data model, module boundaries, what is configurable versus coded. Has shipped enterprise software that runs inside customer environments, on one release train.
Build modules end to end, data model through interface. Comfortable owning a feature from schema to screen, shipping weekly, and rewriting their own work when the pattern generalizes.
Build the reference agents and the orchestration underneath them. Production experience with agentic systems since 2023, and clear judgment about when not to use an agent.
Own the ugly edges: EDI, GDSN, SAP and Oracle Retail tables, PIM, POS, flat files. Everything client-specific lives here so it lives nowhere else.
Build the eval suites, regression harnesses, and sandbox that prove an agent is safe before it touches live systems. Grading non-deterministic output is the actual job.
Deploy into client VPCs on AWS, Azure and GCP with inference inside their boundary. Keep every installation upgradable. Self-hosted enterprise distribution experience required.
Owns the client security review, SOC 2, pen tests, and data handling inside regulated retail environments. Has cleared enterprise procurement before and knows where it stalls.
Turns retail workflows into module specs and decides what ships first. Retail, supply chain or finance operations background, fluent enough to argue with engineers.
Embed with the client, learn the real process, build the working system. Production coders who can hold a room with an SVP. Retail, CPG or distribution background.
Same role aimed at deductions, claims, vendor income, freight audit and reconciliation. Accounting operations depth plus enough engineering to build the fix.
Scope a transformation, map current-state systems, design the deployment, and hand a buildable plan to the FDE team. Enterprise retail systems experience, not slideware.
Whether you are a retailer, invest in this space, or are an operating / AI leader, we would love to hear from you.
