Like many business areas today, the fashion industry is at a turning point. As the climate crisis looms, consumers are in search of more efficient, environmentally-friendly alternatives to traditional clothing companies, while more industry leaders are helping to usher in a new way of looking at the world of fashion. In this episode, Gil sits down with Adi Shemesh, the founder and former CEO of Trench, a tech startup helping to revolutionize the fashion industry.

With her unique combination of expertise in fashion, finance and tech, Adi has a unique perspective to share about the way we consume clothing and the future of the industry. She offers some fascinating insights about the world of fashion and the rapidly evolving digital universe, and how companies can ensure they’re consistently providing value to consumers. 

We’ve all heard the term “innovation” used as a buzzword in the business world time and time again, but how can businesses innovate wisely instead of viewing it as just another corporate check box to keep shareholders happy? In this episode, Gil sits down with David Rowan, the former founding editor-in-chief of Wired, UK Edition. David is an author, angel investor, keynote speaker and the founder of Voyagers, a company that organizes by-invitation adventures designed to build close connections between exceptional people, with the ultimate goal of accelerating positive impact. As an advisor and investor for over 60 startups, David is on a global quest for bold corporate innovation in the face of technology-led disruption. During this episode, he explains how innovation is simply a matter of using the emerging tools of technology to build future-facing business models. Making predictions about the future is next to impossible, but it’s essential for companies to keep their finger on the pulse of new and emerging technologies to maintain an edge in this competitive climate.

Cross-sector innovation is happening more quickly than ever today. In addition to creative thinking skills, business leaders of the future will need to develop the ability to think fast, stay adaptable and roll with the punches as they come. In this episode, Gil sits down with Elav Horwitz, the Senior Vice President of global innovation and creative partnerships at McCann Worldgroup. In her role, Elav is constantly developing new methods and processes to create meaningful consumer experiences based on strong relationships with tech partners and startups. During the episode, she explains how she brings value to McCann and the companies she works with in her current role. She also explores the process of digital transformation, and the need for constant innovation and evolution in the business world. Although there will never be an equal replacement for human storytelling and creativity, Elav explains how new innovations will continue to augment our ability to create and support us in our journey towards better customer experiences in the future.
