David Cortese joins Simbe Robotics as Chief Commercial Officer
Inventory management robot venture Simbe Robotics has named David Cortese as its first Chief Commercial Officer.
He joins from Advantage Solutions, where he most recently served as President of the company’s Digital Technology Division.
Cortese started his career at Accenture, where he spent seven years advising clients across the manufacturing, financial services and telecommunications sectors.
“We are at an inflection point, and Dave’s work will be instrumental to third-party groups looking to utilise Tally’s on-shelf data to inform better business decisions,” says Simbe Co-Founder and CEO Brad Bogolea.
Since I first met Dave while he was at Advantage, I have been impressed by his ability to strategically operationalise data to improve operations, and am looking forward to his work to define and grow Simbe’s data offerings across the retail ecosystem.”
“For the past century, retailers have closely monitored the inventory traveling in through the back of the store and out through point of sale, but the industry has lacked the same level of visibility into product status and movement while on-shelf,” says Cortese.
“Simbe has the strongest real-time in-store insights of any retail technology company, and now, with Tally, retailers are able to gain these insights at scale never before possible.”
“We are starting to see the fully realised potential for this data in the broader retail ecosystem. In addition to bringing clear value to retailers, brands and shoppers, this data will also be instrumental to third-parties to better help them collaborate and deliver results to their retail partners. ”
