What happens when you stop thinking about retail as stores, websites or marketplaces – and start with the consumer and work backward? That is what Marc Lore is building with Wonder. Leveraging his experience disrupting e-commerce at Jet.com and Walmart, Marc is creating a new kind of consumer platform to make great food more accessible. From recipe development to kitchen robotics and autonomous drone delivery, Wonder owns mealtime from end to end, bringing a level of consistency, quality and speed to new geographies and at price points unattainable by traditional restaurants and delivery platforms. On the Main Stage, Lore will share what he sees coming next, and why the biggest retail opportunities may belong to companies willing to rethink the entire consumer journey.
