Ankit Patel

I've spent years optimizing conversion rates. On March 24th, I'm optimizing my right hook.

I'm stepping into the ring at Shoptalk Las Vegas as part of Justin Silver's eCommerce Fight For Charity - and I couldn't be more terrified.

This event is bringing the eCommerce industry together to raise $1,000,000 for some incredible organizations:
🎗 American Cancer Society
💧 charity: water
🏥 Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières - USA

Tuesday night in Vegas: unlimited food, open bar, and eComm marketers punching each other in the face. If you're at Shoptalk, come watch me either land a clean jab or embarrass myself in front of everyone I respect professionally. Maybe both.

See you in the ring Nadeem Abboud 🥊

Walmart🛒Sam's Club |📦Merchandising Displays & Packaging📦|❤️Sales & Marketing |🌄Outdoor Enthusiast & Endurance Everything🏃| Employee Owner❤️EBITA | #TheRetailDude

With over a decade of experience in retail merchandising and execution, I help CPG brands make an impact at Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco, and beyond. From endcaps to pallet programs, I work closely with brand CEOs, Founders, and Marketing/Sales executives to execute in-store merchandising strategies that drive velocity, impulse purchases, and brand awareness.

I’m passionate about sharing insights on how brands can maximize their retail presence, whether through strategic packaging, off-shelf displays, or shopper marketing activations. My approach is rooted in innovation, data-driven decision-making, and a relentless pursuit of "What if?" thinking to bring ideas to life.

👟 Outside of retail, I’m an ultra trail runner, constantly pushing limits and testing endurance, just like in business. Success in both comes down to strategy, consistency, and execution.

Let’s connect and talk about winning at retail.
