Then we talk to YuJin Yong, Senior Director of Direct to Consumer at MZ Wallace, a designer, manufacturer and retailer of handbags and fashion accessories. YuJin helps us understand the MZ Wallace brand and the important role international retail, including in Canada, plays for this innovative retailer.
Next I’m joined by George Hanson, who shares his perspectives with decades of experience in international eCommerce with brands such as Under Armour where he was VP North America E-Commerce and Retail
