About This Webinar

Let's be honest: retailers are drowning in data but starving for answers.
You've got RFID reads. Video footage. EAS alarms. Traffic counts. POS transactions. Device analytics. And somehow, none of it talks to each other. So when shrink happens, you're still piecing together the story like a detective with half the clues missing.

Here's the good news: multi-sensor intelligence is changing the game.
Instead of more dashboards and more tools that don't integrate, we're finally seeing what happens when RFID, computer vision, lidar, EAS, and AI actually work together—in real time, with one operational view that LP, ops, and merchandising can all trust.

In this webinar, I'm sitting down with Tom Meehan from CONTROLTEK and Randy Dunn from Zebra Technologies—two companies with one of the strongest partnerships in the space—to nerd out about how sensor fusion is moving from buzzword to business impact.
We're talking real use cases. Real results. And real talk about how retailers can stop managing chaos and start making decisions with clarity.

If you're tired of hearing "we need a single pane of glass" without actually getting one—or if you're trying to figure out how to turn all that tech investment into something your teams can actually use—this one's for you.

We're keeping it real on the unscripted side of LP.

Agenda

The Retail Data Problem: Why More Sensors Isn't the Answer Retailers have data everywhere—but it's fragmented, siloed, and impossible to act on. We'll break down why the future isn't about collecting more data—it's about unifying what you already have.
Why Now? The Perfect Storm for Multi-Sensor Intelligence Shrink is at all-time highs. Labor is strained. ORC is more organized. And finally, the tech is ready: sensor costs are down, AI is accessible, and infrastructure is modernizing. We'll explain why this is the moment to act.
Real-World Use Cases: From Theory to Measurable Impact We're bringing receipts. See how multi-sensor intelligence is solving real problems—from loss detection (where RFID + computer vision + EAS work together to eliminate guesswork) to store operations optimization and outbound shipment verification.
The Single Pane of Glass: What It Really Means (and How to Get There) Everyone wants it. Few retailers have it. Tom and Randy will walk through what it actually takes to create one unified operational view that LP, ops, and merchandising can all trust—and how CONTROLTEK + Zebra are making it happen.
What Retailers Should Prioritize in 2026 No fluff. No "it depends." Just straight talk on where to start: using the data you already have, defining one shared truth, planning for scalability (not pilot purgatory), and thinking outcome-first, not tech-first.

My leadership philosophy centers on turning complexity into clarity. I work closely with global enterprises and early-stage innovators alike, often serving as a trusted advisor and board member to startups developing next-generation solutions in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, cybersecurity, and physical security. My experience spans both public and private sectors, with a growing emphasis on aligning AI-driven strategies with business goals and regulatory frameworks.

Over the past decade, I’ve built and scaled cross-functional teams, led enterprise transformations, and pioneered the deployment of technologies like RFID, EAS, digital twins, and cash security systems. I have deep domain expertise in intelligence, open-source investigations, organized retail crime, human trafficking mitigation, and threat detection—fusing data science and frontline experience to deliver results.

As a passionate advocate for responsible innovation, I regularly speak on the future of risk, retail, and technology, and contribute thought leadership as a published author, podcast host, and keynote speaker. I’m actively involved in shaping the direction of the industries I serve helping organizations navigate complex challenges in AI governance, loss prevention, digital transformation, and sustainability.

My work is grounded in real world application but guided by a forward thinking vision: empowering organizations to thrive in an increasingly intelligent, connected, and risk-conscious world.
