Is Delivery Ecommerce’s Most Overlooked Growth Lever? with André Sikborn Erixon, Ingrid

July 15, 2026

Is delivery still being treated too much like logistics, and not enough like customer experience?

On the latest episode of The FODcast, James sits down with André Sikborn Erixon, VP of Growth at Ingrid, to explore why delivery has become one of the most important and misunderstood parts of modern commerce.

From checkout accuracy and customer preference, through to lockers, omnichannel fulfilment and agentic commerce, this is a really interesting conversation about how delivery now shapes trust, loyalty and repeat purchase.

We discuss:

  • Why delivery experience starts long before the parcel arrives
  • How customer expectations vary depending on context
  • Why speed and price are not the only delivery variables that matter
  • The role of lockers, pickup points and sustainable delivery options
  • How shipping can become a revenue opportunity, not just a cost centre
  • Why delivery accuracy will matter even more in an AI-led commerce journey

A strong listen for anyone thinking about customer experience, fulfilment, ecommerce strategy or the future of delivery.

Why Product Data Is the New AI Battleground with Romain Fouache, Akeneo

June 24, 2026

Most businesses know AI is changing commerce. 

The bigger question is whether their product data is actually ready for it. 

In this episode of The FODcast, Tim speaks with Romain Fouache, CEO at Akeneo, about conversational AI, agentic commerce and why structured product information is becoming such an important topic for brands and retailers.

The conversation covers:

  • Why AI changes how products are discovered
  • The growing importance of attributes and enrichment
  •  Why “good enough” product data may no longer be enough
  • How marketplaces and ecommerce journeys could evolve from here

One line from Romain that really stuck with us: “Your product data strategy is your go-to-market strategy.”

It’s a great listen…enjoy.
