In this week’s edition of Tech Tuesdays, Radar takes the spotlight with some big news…
Radar has named Zach Little as the company’s chief technology officer, which became effective on July 22, 2024. Little, who has more than 20 years of experience, previously served as vice president of engineering at Luminar Technologies and also held various roles at Argo AI, Apple and Microsoft.
The company said Little will oversee all its product development initiatives and report directly to Spencer Hewett, the chief executive officer. Radar also said Morgan Levine, a former vice president of legal and compliance at Farfetch, will join as general counsel, reporting to Eric Mogil, chief growth officer.
Radar said in a statement that Paul Petrus, the former CTO will continue to serve as a senior advisor to the company and as one of Radar’s largest stakeholders. “[Petrus] has been an amazing CTO and partner and I can’t thank him enough for his leadership, dedication and guidance over the last four years, enabling us to launch Radar and deploy our technology in-store with some of the world’s top retailers,” Hewett said.
Radar is a technology platform that combines RFID and “computer vision technology” to track in-store inventory. The technology helps sales associates quickly locate product in stores, which improves the shopping experience for consumers.
The addition of Little and Levine comes when Radar is on a rapid growth trajectory.
Hewett described Little as “a respected leader who combines technology expertise and the ability to get large hardware and software engineering teams to move in unison to accomplish business goals with lightning speed. His unique skill set and strategic mindset make him an ideal fit for Radar. At the same time, we’re delighted to welcome Morgan Levine as general counsel as we accelerate our business momentum.”
Mogil said Levine’s “deep experience and expertise in both retail and technology organizations make her an excellent partner to our executive team and board as we continue to scale Radar into a global market leader in retail technology.”
Little said retailers and brands “are seeking every competitive edge today, and Radar offers a revolutionary solution that delivers the inventory accuracy needed to enhance efficiency and profitability.”
