Weee!’s offering focuses on these groups specifically across 14 key regions coast-to-coast and aims to expand to 30 cities across North America by 2024.
“The future of e-tailing will be multi-ethnic and multicultural, with Asian and Hispanic populations as the two fastest-growing segments,” said Larry Liu, founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Guillaume’s consumer marketing track record and dynamic understanding of ethnic shoppers will be essential to our ability to meet the unique needs of these underserved communities rapidly and at scale.”
