Welcome to eCommerce Fastlane. Today, my guest is Aaron Schwartz, Co-Founder and CEO of Orita.

In this episode, we dive into the evolving world of email deliverability and how AI-powered machine learning is transforming how brands connect with their customers. Aaron has been a key player in eCommerce for years, co-founding and leading brands like Passport Shipping and Loop Returns. Now, with Orita, he’s solving a massive problem—helping brands maximize email engagement, increase revenue, and improve inbox placement.

Here’s what we cover in today’s conversation:

• The email deliverability crisis – Why many brands unknowingly hurt their own email performance and how to fix it.
• AI-powered audience optimization – How Orita’s custom machine learning models predict which subscribers are ready to buy—and which ones should be left out.
• Why traditional segmentation isn’t enough – The hidden gaps in rule-based segmentation that AI can fill to unlock incremental revenue.
• The impact of email deliverability on revenue – How poor inbox placement affects your bottom line and what brands can do about it.
• How agencies can leverage AI-driven segmentation – Why top Klaviyo agencies are using Orita to supercharge client results.
