Aleksander (Sasho) Djurka, CIO of Vestiaire Collective & Vlerick MGM Alumnus 2014, will present this online kick-off event for the French Alumni Community. This event is a first step in building a Vlerick alumni network in France.

Sasho will discuss the importance of data in e-commerce and the impact of Covid-19 on the industry. The Covid-19 crisis has made e-commerce more important than ever: from small local shop owners having to transform their business, to global platforms strengthening and expanding to meet the rise in demand.

And data is a core element in successful e-commerce platforms: data can help acquire and retain clients as well as provide insights for better business management and innovation.

Tune in to this webinar on 20 January from 20 – 21:30!
