Brad Davies

Director of eCommerce
Grand & Toy Limited

Brad Davies is the Director of eBusiness at Grand & Toy, the Canadian division of Office Depot Inc. since a merger of equals in late 2013, creating one of North America’s largest online retailers. Brad has over 16 years working in traditional and B2B eCommerce. Since joining Grand & Toy in 2006 he has built and led teams through all facets of the online space from digital marketing, sales enablement, analytics, merchandising, infrastructure and development. Brad believes that success in the B2B eCommerce space comes as much from ensuring that the channel drives and is driven by the entirety of the supply chain but also by forgetting that you are B2B-centric where the customer experience is concerned. With the expanded leverage and energy the new Office Depot organization brings, Brad is looking to continue to deliver a site that differentiates, rationalizes operational efficiencies and grows sales and stickiness across all segments.
