Michelle Pacynski, VP, Digital Innovation at Ulta Beauty joins Brian and I for a discussion about #Ulta’s #innovation culture.We talk about the two tech #startup #acquisitions Ulta made in the last 3 years and how that helped fuel in innovation culture. GlamST  allows guests, using #augmentedreality to try on makeup virtually in #mobile, #web and #instore. QM Scientific is an #AI retail platform that continuously learns individual shopping habits, via #machinelearning, and preferences by #datamining from #pos, #loyalty systems, the web and partner #IoT devices. We get into an interesting discussion about where the innovation team should sit and the type of person that should staff it. Finally we discuss the types of tools, like #lowcode, that can help drive innovation.
