Claire Cunha

At HP, I have worked in several departments, one of which being product manager for ink supplies. Packaging is a huge part of the product as it allows us to fight counterfeit (seal of original ink), stand out on the retail shelf bit also prevent theft (usually through blister packaging). Theft, clones. and counterfeit products are a huge issue for us so would love to bring my experience and learn more through discussions. Furthermore, I would love to learn more about green packaging solutions.

I managed the global Inventory Control function at lululemon including 3rd party counts, warehouse cycle counts and shipment audit procedures, the implementation of RFID at our stores and using insight from RFID cycle counts to inform shrink results and identify inventory discrepancies. Worked closely with Store Ops and Loss Prevention in shrink metric reporting. Worked with a number of RFID vendors on inventory accuracy and loss capabilities with different hardware solutions.
Gary Desjar

I was the marketing lead at IBM Retail Store Solutions for their self checkout solutions. We explored a number of different methods to prevent theft through SCO - visual recognition, RFID, package and size dimensions, just to name a few. In addition, I have extensive retail management and retail consumer packaged goods marketing experience. This gives me a keen understanding of the "at shelf" level of insights.
Arun Sharma
Director at Best Buy Canada
Led store operations for a global retailer territory with over $1B in sales, and was responsible to control shrink given that we have the highest sales for consumer electronics which is a targeted with respect to shrink from both external and internal folks. Led a strategic project to drive our shrink trend from over budget and accrual to under.
Peter Farino
Business Development Manager at VSS Security Services
My experience with loss prevention and fraud prevention includes managing the technology department for retailer Office Depot for 2 years. Tools used included CCTV, Searchable Video, applying Sensomatic label barcodes to items over $50, attaching RFID's to items over $100. These tools and applicable systems (EAS and POS) were used for anything ranging from laptop computers to TV's to computer software or cameras. In addition we also conducted physical inventory accounts on a daily basis and displayed security signs throughout stores. I also have packaging experience when I worked for a Chinese Packaging company in Shanghai, China. My role was to develop new business with global companies that had operations in Shanghai, China. All packaging was custom fit for a clients product and tested to ensure durability as the items progress through the supply-chain.

FAQ
  • add remove What is Currnt?
    Currnt is a “Knowledge Networking” platform where companies and professionals come to stay relevant on the latest advances in their industries in the face of the increasing pace of change. Companies sponsor panels to learn about where markets are headed or how to leverage new capabilities. Professionals join to demonstrate and develop their passions with equal caliber peers in expert-only facilitated online engagements. On Currnt, we take our passions seriously and ourselves lightly. See our Community Guidelines, to learn more of the rules of the road, here are some highlights

    • Be yourself. The authenticity of Currnt begins with the passion of people.
    • Be respectful. This applies to every person, at all times.
    • Be inclusive. Tolerate, welcome, and consider diverse people and perspectives.
    • Build empathy and understanding. Engage in debates that are in good faith.
    • Foster meaningful and genuine connections. This is what Currnt is all about.
    • Do not plagiarize or fail to cite other’s ideas.
    • Don’t game the points by trying to coordinate intentional recognition.
  • add remove How do Panels work?
    The panel is like a facilitated forum of hand selected experts on a topic sponsored by a company that wants to learn fast. Panels are organized in chapters called Themes that focus on one subtopic at a time. In some panels Themes are only 24 hours in duration, in others they are a week long, and in some they are two weeks long. When one Theme closes, a new one begins. You come in when you feel like it, but try to come in twice per Theme. You earn points from your peers and the facilitator when they react to your ideas. Likewise, others earn points when you interact on their posts. The more we discuss and debate, the better the insights, the more points earned by all.

  • add remove Why should I apply? Do I get paid?
    Professionals join Currnt because they want to remain relevant on subjects they’re passionate about and subjects that are shaping the future of their industry. They also:

    • Engage and connect with equal caliber peers in their industry
    • Learn and enhance their knowledge
    • Get recognized and rewarded for providing their inputs and thought-leadership
    • When specified above in the project description, you can earn honorarium payments and/or recognition points redeemable for cash. Learn more here.
  • add remove Are there specific times I need to participate?
    There are no set times for calls or meetings. Participation is 100% online on the Currnt platform and engagement between the all expert panelists is asynchronous in written form. Just come in twice per Theme, at your convenience.

  • add remove How do KnowledgeStreams and DesignSprints work?
    Streams are ongoing online engagements for exploration or working iteratively with a panel, and Sprints are on-demand engagement to get to actionable insights quickly. Both are facilitated and are always-on for participants to engage at-convenience. The conversations are segmented into Themes which are subtopics which are like chapters in a book. In a 4 Day Sprint, Themes are 24 hours, whereas a Theme in a Stream is every two week. Throughout the discussion, the facilitator highlights and categorizes the “key takeaways” to be voted and distilled into a summary report. It’s also common that other pieces of content (whitepapers, blogs, podcasts) are also prepared from the distilled insights.

  • add remove I’ve applied. Now what?
    Your application will be internally reviewed in the following 24-48hrs and screened for any conflict of interest, and general fit. Next your application will be shortlisted for the sponsor to accept, bookmark or reject. You will receive a notification each step of the way, but expect this may take a couple of days, or even weeks if the panel is new. Nevertheless, in addition to the notifications, you can always go back to the Apply page to view the status of your application.

  • add remove I’ve been selected. What am I expected to do when selected?
    Once you receive your Welcome Email, please RSVP by clicking the link in the notification. You can also gain access to the panel through your ‘My Currnt’ at the top of the page. Finally, once you have RSVP’d by logging into the panel, there is often a Welcome Tab where you can introduce yourself to the other panelists. If it’s a new panel, the first Theme will launch in a few days, if it’s an ongoing panel just jump right in by reacting to the question or to what the other panelists had to say.

  • add remove If I have other questions or issues, what should I do?
    Please contact support to answer any other questions or troubleshoot any issues via email or chat.
