Growing Amazon Grocery
Show notes
Amazon is transforming how customers shop for groceries by bringing fresh perishables directly to customers through Same-Day Delivery on Amazon.com. Doug Herrington sits down with Sidira Sisich, a Senior Product Manager on the Amazon Grocery team, to explore how Amazon integrated fresh produce, meat, dairy, and more into its Operations network. Doug and Sidira talk about why speed matters in business, the excitement around "zero-to-one innovations,” and an old project called Amazon Wine.
