Radar Ranks: Radar, the tech firm using overhead RFID and AI to track and locate store inventory, has pumped up its management with several executive changes to support growth.
Former PVH executive Jonathan Aitken has joined Radar as senior vice president, RFID center of excellence to establish RFID best practices and support retail partners as they expand Radar to more stores and use cases.
Eugene Sy, a veteran engineering executive with expertise in wireless systems — including autonomous vehicles, embedded platforms, firmware, and hardware-software integration — has joined Radar as chief technology officer. He will play a key role in research and development of new RFID, AI and advanced technology offerings.
Morgan Levine has been promoted from general counsel to senior vice president, corporate operations, taking an expanded role overseeing legal, HR, recruiting and strategic and business operations departments as well as serving as board secretary. She is responsible for organizational alignment and communication and leading strategic initiatives, as well as commercial contracts, corporate governance, IP, compliance, employment law and litigation. Morgan is a former vice president of legal and compliance at Farfetch.
“We are investing in executive leaders who have delivered global rollouts and who know what it takes to make RFID work day after day as well as grow the team and company required to deliver that,” said Spencer Hewett, founder and chief executive officer of Radar. “Their experience strengthens how we will innovate, deploy, operate and support the world’s top retailers as they scale.”
Radar is a technology platform that leverages RFID overhead sensor technology to track and locate in-store inventory with what the firm says is 99 percent accuracy. Old Navy and American Eagle are among Radar’s many retail clients. The technology enables retailers to measure everything happening inside their stores including real-time inventory levels and fitting room conversions, thereby helping eliminate pain points like out-of-stocks and replenishing products.
