The goal of Digital Cadre is to share insights, experiences, best practices and stories to drive commerce success for brands and retailers.
Hi, I’m James Johnson, and digital commerce is in my blood. I have more than 20 years global retail experience as a practitioner (Michael Hill, Colorado Group and Virgin), a consultant (EY) and technologist (Demandware, Salesforce and Shopify). I’m fortunate to have witnessed and participated in the changing digital commerce landscape. By understanding the challenges that brands and retailers face, I help them meet their customer’s needs by sharing insights, experiences, best practices and stories.
I have the great pleasure of being the Director of Technology Services & Enterprise Merchants at Shopify APAC. In my prior roles, I’ve built and managed award-winning physical and virtual teams for retailers and technology companies, as well as launching successful products and multi-brand, global commerce solutions.
I was included in Inside Retail’s inaugural Top 50 People in eCommerce, and I’m a frequent industry speaker, sharing perspectives to help and inspire others.
I have experience in all things digital, including digital strategy and transformation, commerce, marketing, customer experience development, product development and project delivery.
