Mercatus names vice president of retail operations

E-comm software group Mercatus has appointed Lee Lambeth as its new vice president of retail operations. In his role, he will help oversee the delivery and implementation of the company’s product portfolio.

Lambeth joins Mercatus from Point Pickup Technologies, where he was VP of Customer Success and was instrumental in developing electronic communications strategies for retailers including Heinen’s, Fareway, Calgary Co-op and Federated Co-op. His three decades of experience in retail operations also include a COO position at GrocerKey and leadership roles at Wilson’s, Hannaford Brothers and Lowes Foods.

The new VP will work closely with Sylvain Perrier, North America President and Global COO at Mercatus. “We are delighted to welcome Lee Lambeth to our team,” remarked Perrier. “Lee brings an outstanding depth of operational and retail expertise that is vital to our continued strategy to provide leading e-commerce and shopper engagement solutions to retailers. His proven track record in increasing profitability and reducing capital expenditures aligns perfectly with our goals of optimizing the operational efficiency of our retail partners’ online efforts and driving them to profitable growth.”

Lambeth said he is looking forward to contributing to a team that is redefining success in the grocery e-comm space. “I look forward to applying my experience to help our retail partners improve their operational efficiency, increase customer satisfaction and achieve new levels of profitability,” he stated.

It was a dynamic year for Mercatus, which merged with Stor.ai in January and now operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Houston-based Relationshipshop. In February, Mercatus launched a new personalization solution called AisleOne to help regional and independent retailers use data insights for more connected shopper experiences.

Leading retailers and food solutions providers – including Mercatus – will talk about the latest innovations and more at Progressive Grocer’s annual GroceryTech event in Dallas, June 5-7. Click here for more information and to register now.
