Tapestry Exec: Saying No to AI is Like Saying ‘No, We Don’t Like Money’
AI. Drives. Sales.
At the SJ Fall Summit in November, Tapestry’s SVP of Global Digital Product & Omnichannel Innovation opened the session (watch the full recording here!) with a mic-drop moment:
“If you’re saying no to AI, it’s like saying ‘No, we don’t like money.’”
And, of course, he’s right!
This same theme carried into the following Coresight Research Legends of Commerce event held just a few weeks later in December. There, in the peak of Cyber Week, executives from Coresight Research, Ken Pilot Ventures, New Balance, Todd Snyder, Wayfair, Tractor Supply Co., Bayer, Lily AI, and many more delved into the transformative impact of AI and the future of technology-powered retail.
During the discussion, Coresight highlighted the 110% income growth CORE opportunities to improve operating income and profitable lift:
- Create New Business
- Optimize Operations
- Reinvent the Supply Chain
- Enhance Customer Experiences
The Bottom Line
AI drives both bottom and top-line growth. Creating not just new efficiencies and increased productivity, but better customer experiences that drive sales.
