Tom has helped launch and scale retail media networks for grocers and mass merchants including Albertsons, Ahold-Delhaize, and Dollar General, and previously worked in China on trade marketing programs with Unilever. He is the founder of Nextipedia and host of The Middlemen Podcast, where he explores how retailers are becoming the next generation of publishers—and why most organizations are still structurally unprepared for that shift.
