Featuring Lee’s guests from CIO Online's CIO Leadership Live, this video explores what CIOs are saying they need to see from tech sellers as they consolidate their strategic vendor pool.

Wrapping up 1.5 days of inspiration, meeting long time friends and partners and making some new ones, at WWD Retail CEO Summit. Listening to and speaking with leaders in retail, it’s great to hear that a lot of the retailers and in specific those who are successfully navigating these challenging times, have put the emphasis on TEAM and CULTURE. Yes, product is important, yes technology 👋 is important, but… it’s all about people, it’s all about building the right team, empowering your team and making sure the team is aligned on the “North Star”. #RetailLeadership #Teamwork #CultureBuilding

For two years, I stayed out of operations. But when I stepped back in, I had one focus: Listening. Not just listening to leadership—but listening to our clients. Making sure their voices were truly heard. Clients don’t just want to be sold something; they want to feel understood. They need to know that their challenges, their needs, and their goals are at the heart of everything we do. So, I made a decision. We weren’t just going to say we were customer-centric—we would live it. For us, being customer-centric isn’t a strategy. It’s a commitment to removing silos, fostering collaboration, and building trust within our team and with our clients. Real growth doesn’t come from acquiring more customers. It comes from building lasting relationships with the ones we already have. And that starts with listening. #Listening #CustomerCentric #Leadership
