Hendrik and Brian have known each other for many years and have shared many meaningful conversations in the past. Knowing how much strategic value Hendrik brings to his clients, Brian invited him on to “The State of Commerce Experience” to share his experience with you.
Back in Brian’s Forrester days, Hendrik was his “go-to” source for intel on what was happening in emerging markets such as Africa, Indonesia, South Asia and the Middle East.
Continuing the trend, this episode focuses on the impacts that the current healthcare crisis is having on global eCommerce.

Specific things discussed in the show:
I believe that in the next 12 months we will see the battle between Mercado Libre and Amazon ramp up, because both of them realise that Mexico could be the big Latin American market that scales up so big that it becomes more important than Brazil.
