Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Salesforce executive Sarah Walker was named chief operating officer of Slack, Kym Arnone is leading Jefferies' municipal business to one of its best years yet, and this Google exec is influencing how you shop this holiday season. Have a great Thursday!
- Shop 'til you drop. Like many retail and e-commerce execs, Google's Stephanie Horton is getting ready for the close of yet another holiday season. This time around, she notes, it's the first holiday season since generative AI became part of the consumer zeitgeist. That means that consumers are using new tools for their holiday shopping.
Horton is one of the execs influencing how we shop today. She's Google's senior director of global consumer marketing for shopping and payments. In that role, she helps drive the use of tools like Google Pay and Wallet as well as smaller shopping features for consumers, including some new ones for the holidays.
