Stacy Berns’ Post

Everyone had a lot to say about AI at our CommerceNext press breakfast this week. Thank you to Anne Mezzenga and Jessica Binns for steering a truly insightful discussion that touched on Roblox, TikTok Shop, #GenAI, consumer confidence, retail earnings, and more. Shoutout to Joe Megibow, Ken Pilot, Sarah Veit Wallis, Fay Shuai, and all the voices who contributed to a rich and rewarding conversation!

Another great Stacy Berns Berns Communications Group event. If your a brand or a platform and not working with her and the amazing team (which includes a Gen Z focus group) you should be and you don't need AI to confirm it.

WorkJam CEO Steven Kramer recently spoke with Bloomberg Television correspondent Sonali Basak about Friday's #jobsreport, the trend of slowing payroll growth, strategies for doing more with less, and effective management of digitally-savvy, non-desk #GenZ workers. And despite the overall slowdown, hospitality is set for a hiring influx during the busy summer season, adding 500,000 workers in the restaurant sector alone, including 20% from Gen Z, according to the National Restaurant Association.

Women in corporate leadership are facing unprecedented challenges. It’s crucial that we continue to fight for change and work towards a more inclusive future. Let’s keep pushing for progress and supporting one another in this journey.

We're disappointed—but not surprised—to see executive trends moving in the wrong direction. The DealmakeHers was founded to amplify the role of women in corporate leadership and has been instrumental in forging successful ventures, partnerships, corporate board positions, and deals. Clearly, there's still plenty of work to be done, according to Bloomberg columnist Beth Kowitt's insightful analysis. "S&P Global Market Intelligence now projects women won’t reach parity with men in the C-suite until 2055 at the earliest, at least five years later than previously estimated. When women do manage to claw their way to the top, they lose their jobs faster than their male counterparts. A new report from executive search firm Russell Reynolds Associates found female CEOs are more than twice as likely to leave their roles within two years and four times more likely to last fewer than 12 months. The boardroom is also regressing, with women in the first quarter of 2024 filling the lowest percentage of new director positions since 2017, according to an analysis from the nonprofit 50/50 Women on Boards. The compensation divide is just as alarming. The U.S. Census Bureau of Labor Statistics released data in January that showed the gender pay gap for all working women has barely budged in a decade."

When Apple in 2022 announced plans to enter the booming buy now/pay later industry with Apple Pay Later following the pandemic-era success of BNPL fintech giants including Klarna, Affirm and Afterpay, it seemed to legitimize an industry still surrounded by fog. But it wasn't a complete surprise when Apple this week pulled the plug on the service, days after announcing a new range of third-party #BNPL approaches rolling out soon through Apple Pay. The BNPL industry is also rapidly maturing and becoming more competitive, which will affect the fortunes of existing players, according to Nandan Sheth, CEO of Splitit, a fintech that enables merchants to offer installment loans at the point of sale from their existing credit cards, without originating new loans. Find out what this all means for a fast-moving fintech market. Kate Fitzgerald American Banker https://lnkd.in/eZJA-wVX

Lessons learned from Apple Pay Later for BNPL lenders and banks
