We are excited to present the finale of Season 5 of our podcast -and our first repeat guest as we welcome back Kelly Goetsch, Chief Strategy Officer at commercetools.

With nearly 8 years at commercetools, Kelly transitioned from Chief Product Officer a couple of years ago to his current strategic role – the first of its kind for the cloud-based headless commerce platform.

With an illustrious career including pivotal roles at ATG and Oracle, where he spearheaded groundbreaking initiatives, including Walmart's global tech implementation, Kelly is undoubtedly a well-known visionary and thought leader within the sector.

As one of the original co-founders of the MACH Alliance, Kelly is at the forefront of advocating for composable architectures and was therefore an ideal guest to conclude the last 16 episodes around the composable conversation.

In our chat, Kelly shared invaluable insights on the evolution of composable, highlighting its mainstream adoption and dispelling common myths. His perspective on the changing landscape of buyers, the role of innovation, and the importance of the human aspect and cultural fit of vendors are covered in detail – as well as a candid discussion on the reasons why transformations fail.

If you’re embarking on a composable journey, or still in the consideration stage, this episode will provide a wealth of information on the positives and pitfalls > > >
