The Omnichannel team, led by industry veteran Jon Kubo, brings extensive commerce expertise through their track record of accelerating outcomes for brands, including MGM, Billabong and Boot Barn. Additionally, its mature relationship with Salesforce and strong capabilities in Commerce Cloud, Service Cloud, and Order Management are complementary to those of Hero Digital. This acquisition puts Hero Digital in a unique position to serve the needs of commerce clients across the lifecycle of invention, transformation, and performance.
