Ecommerce & Retail
The past decade has witnessed unprecedented evolution in the retail sales sector. Ten years ago, online retailing was the new kid on the block – Amazon and eBay were still in their corporate infancy, and the websites of established retailers like WalMart and Costco were little more than a list of store locations, rather than product descriptions and an online shopping cart.
However, savvy entrepreneurs saw the writing on the wall and the shape of things to come, and 680 Partners counts itself among this group of forward thinkers: for the past ten years we have been
helping ecommerce companies secure the executive talent they need to grow into new markets and explore new opportunities, as well as introduce online retailing possibilities to an older generation of companies that are eager to increase their competitiveness in the 21st century marketplace. As ecommerce has grown, we have grown with it.
In fact, we have our very roots securely planted in the fertile soil of ecommerce: in 1996, 680 Partners founder Ross Freeman created, built and programmed the pioneering political ecommerce website DemStore.com. This website ushered in a new era in the world of ecommerce, boldly crafting a visionary nexus of politics, retail sales, and the Internet. DemStore.com has been one of the leading political ecommerce sites in every election since the Clinton-Gore II.
Because ecommerce is a relatively recent phenomenon, 680 Partners has from the beginning led the way in scouring other industries and disciplines in search of executive talent to become the online retailing leaders of tomorrow. Our network of contacts throughout an extensive range of high-profile industries has allowed us to project our skills far and wide, and we have conducted successful executive searches for specialty retailers, mass wholesalers, outlet & discount sellers, big box retailers, luxury goods providers, and many more.
As ecommerce continues to evolve and traditional brick & mortar retailers embrace the need to compete online, opportunities for talented executives will continue to proliferate. 680 Partners will always be here to help companies secure the world-class talent necessary to propel them to their revenue and profit goals.
