This week on SHeCOMMERCE, Jacqui and Cristina sit down with Nicole Lesinski of Nestlé, a leader helping drive e-commerce, retail media, and omnichannel transformation inside one of the world’s biggest CPG organizations.

Nicole unpacks some of Nestlé’s boldest moves—from major reorganizations that put category and consumer focus at the center, to evolving how field teams think about “total commerce” so account leadership understands the full path to purchase—not just what happens in-store. She’s candid about what nearly breaks the playbook: shifting mindsets, reallocating spend without “money trees,” and building new muscles in fast-changing digital ecosystems.

A key turning point? When e-commerce became a clearer engine of growth—and the proof points, measurement, and storytelling made belief inevitable.

Nicole also shares career wisdom for women leading change: be persistent, be confident, seek feedback, trust your gut, and remember that someone is always watching you—so “walk the talk.” And because it’s SHeCOMMERCE, we round it out with the real-life details: her hype playlist (Notorious B.I.G. and Kendrick), and a signature cocktail that perfectly fits her vibe—a tequila espresso martini.

We close with the SHeCOMMERCE pledge—pay it forward, amplify women’s voices, and help shape the future of commerce.

Bold Brands. Fierce Women. One Sisterhood.
