Hello and welcome to the first episode of the ReCommerce show. This is a show about retail where we analyze it through the world of ReCommerce. I'm your host, Shivang Maheshwari. Super excited to be here. A little bit about myself. I'm the co-founder and CEO of Commerce Central. Commerce Central is an AI-powered inventory distribution platform where we help retailers and brands take care of their surplus and return inventory with complete intelligence and control. Before this, I used to work at Amazon where I led machine learning and analytics initiatives.
across three different divisions, Kindle, Seller, and Prime. That's where I met Cat for the first time. And what I did over there was build systems that influence billions in revenue across technologies like demand planning, inventory, forecasting, as well as consumer insights. Before that, I spent some time at FedEx building machine learning algorithms to optimize their B2C network. Most recently, I started a third party logistics company called Ship Maestro.
And that's where I got a first-hand seat into the efficiencies and the guest work that goes into the reverse logistics side of the business. So I'm super excited to be here and welcome Cat
