Congratulations to the 2019 Canada Post E-Commerce Innovation Awards Winners

On September 19^th at the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto, Ontario, TSN’s James Duthie hosted the 8^th annual Canada Post E-Commerce Innovation Awards. These awards celebrate trailblazers who have used creative thinking to do something completely new in the e-commerce space. It was another sold-out show with some of Canada’s greatest business leaders in attendance.

The event was remarkable, with a positive atmosphere that engulfed the whole hall. There was a high amount of tension surrounding each award, and winners were absolutely thrilled to hear their names called. These victorious parties gave insightful, heartfelt speeches that both educated and emotionally engaged the audience.

Canada Post had some big names for their judge’s panel including Retail Council of Canada – Quebec President & CEO, Marc Fortin, Google’s Head of Industry for Retail Vertical, Mohit Grover, Forrester Research Principal Analyst, Sucharita Mulpuru-Kodali, Emerging Disruptors Industry Manager, Blake Smith, and Retail & Consumer Analytics Practice Leader of Deloitte Canada, Jennifer T. Lee. This remarkable panel used their combined expertise to analyze nominees from different viewpoints and give awards to recipients who were truly the most innovative.
