PCMS Appoints First Chief Commercial Officer Following Rapid Growth

CINCINNATI, Nov. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PCMS, a leading global provider of retail commerce software and services, today announced the hiring of Jon Stretton as Chief Commercial Officer.

Stretton joins PCMS at a time of unprecedented growth. The company recently secured several contract wins with global retailers, and was named 'Leader of the Pack' in an influential Forrester Wave™ analyst report earlier this year.

Its VISION Commerce Suite delivers a complete environment for modern retailing by unifying the store, mobile, web and social sales channels and providing consistent cross-channel engagement.

Stretton has been tasked with growing the PCMS global business, with a particular emphasis on serving North American grocery businesses with the PCMS single-solution approach.

Stretton, who has previously worked as Managing Director for Retail for Fujitsu and NCR-UK, said: "PCMS is a leader in retail and hospitality, so I am hugely excited to join the business. The mixture of a mature customer base, innovative software and services solutions, and the 'can do' attitude of PCMS people all make it a great place to work.  

"PCMS has a fine history but I most admire the togetherness of the team as they work hard to lead the industry. Using my experience from NCR, Accenture, Fujitsu and TCS, I hope to help by bringing extra creativity to our partnership approach, while helping company processes to evolve with our rapid growth."
