Shipt Bets on Personalization to Win Delivery Wars
This Episode is Sponsored By: Lazard Middle Market
“People are our differentiator and we scream it from the rooftops.” – Alex Ross, Senior Director of Business Development at Shipt
Shipt (the company that brought same-day delivery to Target) is betting that people, and not processing power, will be the biggest differentiator for delivery in the coming years. Shipt senior director of business development Alex Ross joins The Food Institute Podcast to discuss Shipt’s position on the delivery spectrum, and how new initiatives including personal shoppers and a partnership with Visa could help it win the delivery wars.
