The CPG Guys are joined in today's episode by Mark Hardy, SVP and head of Data Ventures at Walmart.Follow Mark on LinkedIn at: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-a-hardy/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-a-hardy/</a>Follow Walmart Data Ventures online at: <a href='https://www.walmartdataventures.com/'>https://www.walmartdataventures.com/</a>Mark answers these Questions:<ol><li>We’re back at Inspire for another year. For those who may not be familiar, Mark, what is Inspire — and what’s been different about the event this year? </li><li>We were here last year, and one of the things that stuck with us was your introduction of the Scintilla Insights Model. Remind us what that is — and how are you thinking about that?</li><li>Why was Scintilla such a game-changer in helping Kao introduce new life into their 125 year old Jergens brand.</li><li>Yesterday, you laid out a much bigger vision for where Scintilla is headed — evolving from the insights platform you’ve built into what you’re calling a commerce intelligence platform. What does that mean? </li><li>Let’s unpack that. Starting with “integrated” — suppliers already have access to an enormous amount of data. What still needs to be connected?</li><li>You also shared some exciting new AI capabilities yesterday. It sounds like Scintilla is getting a lot smarter in how it helps suppliers make sense of all this information. What does that experience start to look like? </li><li> Then you get to the third piece: actionable. If Scintilla can tell me what’s happening and help me understand why, how do you get me closer to actually doing something about it?</li><li>And one of the places where that becomes very tangible is Scintilla In-Store. What changes when you bring this intelligence all the way onto the sales floor?</li><li>Two years ago the story was "how did I do," last year it was "what should I do." If that arc continues, what' does this look like in 2027?</li></ol>CPG Guys Website: <a href='http://cpgguys.com/'>http://CPGguys.com</a> FMCG Guys Website: <a href='http://fmcgguys.com/'>http://FMCGguys.com</a> SheCOMMERCE Website: <a href='https://shecommercepodcast.com/'>https://shecommercepodcast.com/</a> Rhea Raj’s Website: <a href='http://rhearaj.com/'>http://rhearaj.com</a> Lara Raj in Katseye: <a href='https://www.katseye.world/'>https://www.katseye.world/</a> DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.
