from Where We Buy: Retail Real Estate with James Cook · host James Cook, JLL

Elizabeth Boldin Thomas is SVP of Business Transformation and Intelligence at Centennial.

She also covers the distinction between AI and automation, the weekly show and tell that keeps momentum going, and why the human side of change management matters more than the technology.
