Balsam Brands Uses Real-Time Data To Make Its Holiday List

With the first quarter recently in the books and Q2 well underway, most companies have their collective eye on an uncertain economy and an inconsistent consumer. But for some companies, it’s beginning to look a lot like the holidays. Count Balsam Brands among them. The upscale eCommerce and D2C holiday decor retailer has to fit what would be a whole year’s worth of revenue for any other company into Q4. And with the runaway growth of artificial intelligence (AI), that means shaping up its data profile so it can continue a digital transformation that has been accelerated since the recent arrival of Chief Technology Officer France Roy. Roy, who came to Balsam from InBev, where he managed 400 data scientists and engineers, said he enjoys connecting technology and AI to revenue growth, even if it needs to be packed into the holiday season
