Ashwin answers these questions:

1) So what is this word retail transformation, and how have you been embracing it?
2) Since the onset of the pandemic, it feels eCommerce is the word in the room, which does not really encompass omnichannel. please explain omnichannel for us as it pertains to HEB?
3) You have been a digital maverick now for quite some time, what unique role does digital play in customer acquisition?
4) How is HEB leveraging digital as an asset? When along the path to purchase is it engaging your customers?
5) Take us through your own career journey - why digital leadership, why marketing
6) In your current role how important is loyalty and how are you leading from the front, differentiating from your competitors?
7) UX and conversion go hand in hand - how do you ensure this is the case
8) Give us a prediction of what comes next in customer engagement - is it shoppable media? Where should brands & retailers be placing bets?
