Thursday, September 9, 2021
Additions made to meet unprecedented demand for unattended & automated consumer experiences
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Swyft Inc., a global leader in robotic and software-powered marketplaces, has expanded its C-suite and board of directors in order to meet the growing demand for secure, unattended and automated consumer experiences.
Swyft's Chief Executive Officer, Gower Smith, made today's announcement to welcome Brent Beeman as Chief Financial Officer; Geoff Williamson as Chief Marketing Officer & President, Health Care; and named Adam Tenebaum to Swyft's Board of Directors.
These additions complement Swyft's existing team of C-level executives including Lincoln Smith, President & Co-Founder; Vikranth Katpally, Chief Technology Officer; and Marianne Hindsgaul, Senior Vice President of Sales.
Swyft's high-profile automated retail channel allows brands, retailers, vend operators and enterprises to expand sales, increase profits and engage with users at a deeper level. Amid public health concerns, Swyft's unattended retail stores also leverage proprietary and patented touchless retail technology to deliver safe and convenient consumer experiences.
Swyft's unattended retail stores for brands and retail partners like CVS, iStore and Benefit cosmetics integrate hardware, management software, and managed services, while various sensors power backend machine learning platforms that capture data in the consumer story to provide rich marketing insights.
"Over the last year, we've experienced tremendous growth in both core markets and new ones where unattended, automated stores can provide for consumer engagement where traditional retail is no longer viable," said Gower Smith. "The leadership we welcome today brings impressive expertise and experience, positioning Swyft to seize this moment of opportunity and build the future of retail."
