Episode 76: AWS ascends in retail with Justin Honaman

Kantar Retail Sound Bites

Amazon’s ecosystem is robust and diverse, with growth accelerating across retail, fulfilment, entertainment, and services. As Andy Jassy puts it, “progress is made across all facets of Amazon, perhaps none more so than the continued reacceleration in AWS growth.” Justin Honaman, head of retail and consumer goods industry strategy and business development team at Amazon Web Services, joins Kantar’s Barry Thomas, senior retail thought leader, and Rachel Dalton, head of retail insights, on episode 76 of Kantar’s Retail Sound Bites to discuss AWS’s rapid rise to fame across retail and CPG organizations.
