Omni Talk is the retail blog for retailers, written by retailers.
Chris Walton founded Omni Talk in 2017 and quickly turned it into the go-to source for retail executives who want to stay up-to-date on how technology will impact the future of their industry.
Chris brings with him almost 30 years of experience in retail and marketing. He is an accomplished Senior Executive and leading expert and influencer in omnichannel retailing, who brings with him high-level executive experience across nearly every discipline within retail. He is also a Senior Contributor for Forbes, where his work has been read by over 4 million people, a regular keynote speaker, and he sits on the Advisory Boards for Simbe, Buncha, Jukee, and Mirakl.
Since its founding, Omni Talk has generated a rabid following across the retail industry, with over 40,000 daily newsletter subscribers, 50,000+ LinkedIn followers, and over 200,000 YouTube subscribers. Many of whom are top level retail executives from the best-of-the-best retail companies the world over.
Omni Talk’s podcasts and videos, when disseminated across iTunes, Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube, rank consistently as the top content in the industry because, at the end of the day, it is Omni Talk’s authenticity which sets it apart.
Prior to starting Omni Talk, Chris worked for Target, where he was the Vice President of the retailer’s Store of the Future project and also the Vice President of Merchandising for Home Furnishings on Target.com. He has been a real operator who understands the problems executives are facing and isn’t afraid to call it like it is and to tell the truth. Omni Talk’s content will always always originate from an operator’s perspective, as opposed to consultants or journalists, who oftentimes have their own biases or simply regurgitate what they read in press releases.
