@KhodorMahmoud I’m curious, what did you do to listen more deeply to your customers? How do you engage with them now compared to what you did previously?
It’s no ordinary invitation for #ecommerce tech companies. We love being a part of such a vibrant industry & get to compete with & learn from the strongest industry players.
Good execution vs. bad execution, in 10 tweets:

Things I hold to be true #1
You are not your user, so stop designing for yourself. Understanding what your users need and communicating that around the organisation is super important.
