In this episode of The B2B eCommerce Show, Justin King welcomes digital transformation leader Liz Duggan for a powerhouse conversation about the evolution, and persistent challenges of B2B digital commerce.

Liz, who has led digital strategy for over 85 Fortune 1000 companies and now heads strategy at Smith, shares deeply insightful perspectives on what truly drives value in B2B eCommerce.
