But according to Molly Patterson, Senior Director, MarTech, Comms and Operations at Rue Gilt Groupe, speed only matters if your infrastructure can support it.In this conversation, Molly shares how consolidating four platforms into a single modernized MarTech stack fundamentally changed her team’s ability to experiment, launch campaigns, and learn faster. From improving testing velocity by 6X to using AI for operational efficiency rather than flashy customer-facing experiences, this episode offers a grounded look at what modern marketing transformation actually requires: better systems, tighter workflows, and organizational trust.For marketing leaders navigating AI adoption, this conversation is a reminder that operational excellence is becoming a competitive advantage.
