An Exclusive Interview with Roy Vanono, CEO, Jumbo Stock

The highly competitive retail sector is transforming, and retailers are embracing eCommerce with equal zeal. Multinational retail corporations like Walmart (WMT) and Target (TGT) adapted to the digital transformation, giving their customers a choice to walk into a brick-and-mortar store or order online. Roy Vanono, founder-CEO of Middle East’s retail chain Jumbo Stock shared insights about the growing concept of physical and digital in an exclusive interview. Under Roy’s leadership, Jumbo Stock has become a leading chain of stores in the retail market across Israel. While Jumbo stock has a substantial brick and mortar presence, the brand has been tracking massive traffic online.
