Retail Remix

As CTO and Global General Manager for Zenni Optical, David Ting plays a critical role in determining the company’s key technology investments and experience priorities. 

It should come as no surprise, then, that artificial intelligence (AI) has been at the top of his priority list. During this week’s Retail Remix, he shares how he researched, tested and optimized AI investments for the business. He shares insights on:  
  • How consumers search and browse on the Zenni Optical site, and how these behaviors have dictated the company’s technology decisions;
     
  • Different AI applications and how they have supported operational efficiency and ecommerce performance; 

  • Workforce and company policies that have had to evolve with AI adoption; and

  • Lessons he has learned testing and implementing different AI-powered solutions, and the advice he would offer to peers.
