As Lockdown continued, we caught up with our guests 'over the web'. Our first guest is Gracia Amico: chair, non-executive advisor and experienced CEO. In the past, she’s held senior digital and commercial roles at Burberry, TopShop and Hobbs, as well as CEO at Pets Pyjamas. After a period as Head of Digital Operations at Sun Capital, Gracia is now a non-executive Director at Stitched (the online curtains and blinds seller) and Chair of the pet technology company, Pet Mate. With Gracia we learn about the dynamics of the 'pet' market, discuss the role of the CEO and the skills needed as Chair, and touch on an investor view of the skills needed to thrive as we emerge from lockdown. Robin Phillips is our next guest. Robin is the CEO of The Watch Shop, but his career has seen him cover the gamut of ecommerce. He was Ecommerce Director at Waitrose, then Director of Omnichannel for Boots, before joining Kurt Geiger as Director of Digital. Robin’s experience then across fashion, food and pharmacy mean that he’s got a unique take on retail over the COVID lockdown, as well as some interesting insights on how The Watch Shop can be a brand platform for watch brands to sell.    Run time: 40 minutes.INFORMATION:Gracia Amico: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gracia-amico-7aa9b0/ Robin Phillips: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robin-phillips-rgp/ Ian Jindal: www.linkedin.com/in/ianjindal/ and www.twitter.com/ianjindal Jamie Merrick: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamiemerrick/ Recorded remotely and at Spiritland Studios, UK.
