From business transformation in large retail businesses to sustainability-driven missions, Mel has seen it all and today we’re lucky enough to hear her insights. We'll also be exploring the exciting world of Green Friday, a movement that's reshaping the way we approach sales events with a focus on sustainability and conscious shopping.

Plus, Mel has a BIG announcement for us, and we’ll get a sneak peek into how this big announcement aligns with ReleaseIt's mission and what it means for the future of re-commerce.
