😋 What a fantastic recipe - Ingredients: Retail, Agentic AI, Cape Town Result: A unique South African curry. A little spicy, very tasteful and energising!

📈 Spent valuable time here in our office in Cape Town to discuss all things retail with customers and colleagues during the AWS Executive Retail Day. Together with Louise Liddell I presented “Retail Transformation in the Age of Agentic AI: From Data Strategy to Business Value”.

💡 From my perspective, the retail industry is uniquely positioned to benefit from AI Agents already today by adapting their business model and tech stack today.

🙏 Thank you to Sarah-Jayne De Villiers (Nee Ryan) and Johan John for inviting me over.
Special Kudos to Louise Liddell for sharing the stage with me. Big shout out to all the fantastic speakers! Scott Langdoc, Doug Tiffan, Sarah-Jayne De Villiers (Nee Ryan), Brett D., Roark Raman, Alvaro Idoate, Louise Liddell, and Adam Hill Most importantly though, thanks to all the customers who gifted us with their valuable time and shared their thoughts, challenges and ideas. I took away a lot!

🤘 Another big shout to the Retail SAs back in Germany to spent so much thought in how Agentic AI will shape retail: Stefan Suppra, Martin Sakowski, Marco Plaul, Norman Weisenburger, Martin Karrer

🇿🇦 Looking forward to coming back soon!
