Stord Leadership Talks Beating Amazon Prime and the Future of AI-Powered Fulfillment in Forbes Interviews

Stord CEO Sean Henry and CTO Jacob Boudreau sat down with Forbes' Simone Melvin for two interviews on how Stord is closing the gap between Amazon and every other brand, and what it takes to bring physical intelligence to fulfillment. Watch now.

How This 29-Year-Old Founder Is Taking On Amazon Prime

Amazon spent two decades building Prime for itself. In this interview, Sean Henry explains the trillion-dollar problem he set out to solve at 18: independent brands don't have the infrastructure to compete with Amazon's speed, and no single brand can build that infrastructure alone.

Today, Stord powers over $10 billion in annual commerce and reaches one in four U.S. households, proof that closing the gap between Amazon Prime and everyone else is possible.

How AI and Robotics Will Change Next-Day Delivery Forever

Next-day delivery has become table stakes for every brand. In this interview, CTO Jacob Boudreau breaks down how AI and robotics are reshaping what's possible in fulfillment, not as a forecasting layer bolted onto old infrastructure—but as a physical intelligence layer trained on real orders, real packages, and real operational data.
