Welcome to Global E-Commerce Tech Talks, I’m your host Michael LeBlanc, and this podcast is brought to you in conjunction with the Global E-Commerce Leaders Forum.

The global pandemic has super-charged the growth of E-commerce in markets around the world – and accelerated digital commerce trends for retail brands selling direct-to-consumer (DTC).

As different countries respond to the global pandemic with different timelines, retail stores will reclaim a small share of sales that has shifted online. But the shift to digital has legs; a Kantar/Detail Online study found that six out of ten consumers say that they will continue to buy as much online as they are now buying after the pandemic has passed.

Global E-Commerce leaders are leveraging lessons learned internationally to fuel this domestic growth of retail sales in both established and emerging digital channels. In this episode, we talk with Nathan Isaacson, GM Digital at New Balance and talk about his digital commerce leadership in today’s dynamic market environment, the platform world, how New Balance cracked the code with Amazon, and forming & fostering a culture of leadership and innovation.
