This week on SHeCOMMERCE, Cristina and Jacqui sit down with Christine Foster, SVP of Strategy & Operations at 8451 and Kroger Precision Marketing (KPM), to talk about what happens when retail media stops acting like a “channel”… and starts behaving like a true commercial engine.

Christine opens up about stepping into leadership after Cara Pratt built an extraordinary foundation at KPM—and what it really means to “carry the torch” with progress over perfection (yes, it’s an honor… and yes, the pressure is real).

From there, we get into the future of retail media: breaking down silos across retail media + insights + loyalty, speaking the language of outcomes, and why the real unlock isn’t just better reporting—it’s faster decisions at the pace of commerce. And if you’ve ever spent your Monday drowning in dashboards… Christine’s newest “AI baby,” Agent Monday, is here to change that.

In this episode, we cover:

• Leadership transition done right: honoring the legacy, carrying the torch, and building what’s next
• Why fragmentation slows everyone down—and why unifying retail media + insights + loyalty creates “magic”
• The unlearning required to go cross-functional: “Speak the language of outcomes.”
• Agent Monday: moving brands from reactive insights to proactive action (and what’s coming next: insight → activation)
• “Retail media isn’t just data”—the creativity + emotion that actually drives conversion ( “If you know the cart, you know the heart.”)
• The shift brands aren’t ready for (but it’s coming): dynamic experiences, real-time optimization, and perpetual learning
• Women as the architects (not just operators) of what’s next in commerce
• A leadership myth Christine is happily breaking: leaders don’t need all the answers

Bold Brands. Fierce Women. One Sisterhood.

Welcome to Episode One of SHeCOMMERCE — where power women and real talk collide in the CPG world.

Hosts Cristina Marinucci and Jacqui Dynowski finally fire up the mics (and pour the drinks) for the first-ever episode — part launch party, part manifesto, and part “we’re really doing this” moment.

From Halloween chaos to coffee vs. champagne rituals, the duo kicks off with their signature blend of wit, warmth, and working-woman realness. Then, the conversation pivots from personal to powerful — diving into the mission behind SHeCOMMERCE: creating a sisterhood where women in commerce don’t just have a seat at the table… they own the mic.

But this debut comes with a twist: their first guest isn’t human. It’s AI. Specifically, ChatGPT — the world’s most talked-about digital colleague.

Together, Cristina and Jacqui explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping work, leadership, and creativity — and what that means for women. From adaptability and inclusion to bias and empowerment, this episode flips the script on fear-based tech narratives. Because when women lead the AI conversation, the future gets a whole lot smarter — and more human.

Key Takeaways:

• Women aren’t behind in the AI revolution — we’re the differentiator.
• Inclusion can’t be retrofitted later.
• Commerce is becoming a conversation, not a clickstream.
• And the best tech still can’t replicate empathy, curiosity, or connection.

Whether you’re here for the laughs, the insights, or the sisterhood — this is where it all begins.
