Welcome to Curious Commerce!
Weekly thoughts at the intersection of retail, sociology, and history | by Melina Flabiano
Welcome to Curious Commerce 👋
I’m Melina. I’ve worked as a strategist for retail and consumer businesses for years, and even started my own women’s fashion brand.
In this weekly missive, I share thoroughly-researched takes on the future of commerce, inspired by history 📚, sociology 👩⚕️, and current events 🌎
Here’s what you can expect:
Creative perspectives on the future of commerce, inspired by other disciplines
Real-time lessons from running my own e-commerce brand, Keaton
Strategy frameworks and how to adapt them for the future of commerce
Recommendations for books, podcasts, and articles that will make you smarter
Interviews with industry experts
Speaking of experts…who am I to talk to about this stuff? I’ve worked on the traditional side of retail at McKinsey and Pandora (aka your mom’s favorite charm bracelet company). Now, I run my own women’s e-commerce brand, where I’m figuring out the best ways to adapt to a quickly-changing digital world. Here’s more about me!
In the meantime, tell your friends!
