Spotify – So easy to discover and keep your song with you. It changes music industry
Skyscanner – I love to travel, it’s amazing tool to compare flights

What is your E-commerce tip for the visitors of the Summit?
Try small, test & learn.
Sometimes it won’t work. It’s not bad, as one day, if you keep applying learnings, it will succeed.

Is there a secret that you would like to share with us?
Before applying for the position of eCommerce manager at Nestlé, I had not yet eCommerce experience.
So I created a food startup in one weekend, helping a small business owner to grow and start sell food online. It was win-win for both of us.
He expended his business and I got the job.
