In this episode we explain why the old assumption that distributors can be “High Tech” or “High Touch” is a destructive myth. Distributors that will thrive in the future must be both! Join Jonathan Bein, Ph.D., and Ian Heller for a lively discussion on the disruption sweeping through the industry and how distributors should respond.
Ian Heller is the Founder and Chief Strategist for Distribution Strategy Group. He has more than 30 years of experience executing marketing and e-business strategy in the wholesale distribution industry, starting as a truck unloader at a Grainger branch while in college. He’s since held executive roles at GE Capital, Corporate Express, Newark Electronics and HD Supply. Ian has written and spoken extensively on the impact of digital disruption on distributors, and would love to start that conversation with you, your team or group.
