Nair was most recently senior vice president, stores, data, AI and innovation at Lowe’s Companies, according to his LinkedIn profile. “I’ve always believed that some of the best technology conversations happen in stores, not conference rooms,” Nair wrote in a Tuesday post on LinkedIn. “And as AI reshapes retail, its true impact won’t ultimately be measured by models, benchmarks or the sophistication of the technology.” “It will be measured on the frontlines,” Nair wrote in the post. When Target CEO Michael Fiddelke assumed his current role in February, he said technology is a top priority for the retailer.
