Listen Later

n today’s episode of the Retail Media Breakfast Club, I’m digging into a question that gets a lot of e-commerce pros fired up: where should your eComm team sit within the org chart? Sales? Marketing? Somewhere in between? I’ve brought in three powerhouse brand-side leaders to share how their companies are structured—and why.


From owning the P&L to forming tightly aligned omni teams, we explore different org setups that can either fuel success or slow you down. You’ll hear how Premier Nutrition, Wilton, and Organica Health Products each approach the placement and management of their Amazon and retail media teams. It’s a short but rich dive into strategy, accountability, and cross-functional alignment that might just inspire your next re-org.
