Game-changing impact of AI plus Growth Marketing


During my time at Facebook I learned about the power of Growth Marketing. In fact, I was astonished by the amount of impact that can be generated by a single Growth Marketing professional.

Welcome to the AiEcommerce Blog (Artificial Intelligence for eCommerce)

Welcome...I was first exposed to AI during my time at Facebook.

Ever since I've been closely monitoring the technology, and I decided to create this blog as a way to help eCommerce professionals connect and share ideas, learnings and best practices.

This isn't my first foray into blogging. On June 5th 2007 (24 days before the launch of the first iPhone) I started a blog titled "Mobile Banking." Needless to say...I was very blessed to be in the right place, at the right time and my blog became the go-to source for news, information and insight on the topic of mobile in the financial services industry for almost 7 years.

Here are a few links for additional background:
