Get the goods on Jet.com’s audacious plans at GrowthBeat Summit

Jet.com hasn’t even launched yet but the buzz about it is raging. That’s because the e-commerce retailer taking on the likes of Amazon has raised more than $200 million in funding before even opening its virtual doors.

It’s also why we’re delighted that Jet.com’s Chief Customer Officer, Liza Landsman, along with Scott Friend, Managing Director of Bain Capital Ventures — which led the last round of funding — will be coming to GrowthBeat Summit in Boston on June 1 and 2.

The pair will be featured in a fireside chat at the summit where they’ll discuss the brand’s ambitious plans to disrupt the e-commerce industry. Fueled by ‘scary smart’ e-commere technology that drives lower prices for members while improving logistics for retail partners, Jet.com promises a ‘brilliant’ customer experience right out of the gate.

In their session, they’ll be discussing:

• How do you disrupt an established market and large incumbent through company vision and service differentiation?
• How does a bold startup create a culture to build its marketing function from zero to 60 at warp speed — and be ready to scale quickly?
• How do you create a compelling and integrated customer experience that works across all touch points, online and offline?

Landsman left her role as CMO for E*TRADE to take on the ambitious plans of Jet.com, and prior to that she was Global Head of Digital at BlackRock, Operating Partner at Bravas Partners, all preceded by a decade in senior management positions at Citigroup.

Friend joined Bain Capital Ventures in 2006 after selling the company he co-founded, ProfitLogic, to Oracle. ProfitLogic was the leader in the world of retail analytics and price optimization solutions. Scott’s area of investment interest since joining Bain Capital Ventures has revolved around retail and retail-related technology, both online and offline, as well as the convergence of the two.

These frank fireside sessions provide a rare chance to hear marketing leaders openly debate essential issues in a peer-only setting. GrowthBeat Summit is by invitiation only.
