Lara Schmoisman and Don Allen, CIO/CISO of Moda Operandi, discuss the evolution of e-commerce, the impact of AI on user experience and SEO, and strategic technology adoption for competitive advantage.


We'll talk about:

  • The surprising truth about SEO today—and why organic reach is (almost) a myth.
  • Why a "compelling website" is now just "table stakes" in e-commerce.
  • The strategic shift: when to build bespoke tech and when to buy off-the-shelf solutions.
  • How AI is revolutionizing product tagging and SEO for high-fashion platforms.
  • The biggest challenge of migrating to new platforms—it's not the tech, it's the people.
  • The key difference between physical and online stores: dynamic personalization.
  • Moda Operandi's marketplace strategy: leveraging it for hard-to-store items and new designers.
