This special episode of The CPGGUYS features four guests - the WINNERS of our 2024 Omnichannel awards - 'The OMNIES'. The Omnies recognizes a select few every year that have dedicated a career to evolving from brick & mortar to being truly omnichannel and championing it in the industry. Our four winners this past year have done exactly that. Our sincere CONGRATS to Doug Jossem from Walmart Connect, Tonya Douglas from Giant Foods (part of the ADUSA family), Cely Moreno from PepsiCo and Cara Pratt from Kroger precision marketing/84.51.

2.) How did you embrace omnichannel leadership and how do you keep up with learning given all the changes in our industry?

3.) What is your advice to others in this space, and how do you advocate working with digital leaders on this very leadership?
