About Amir Hessabi
I\'ve spent the last decade helping retailers and eCommerce brands grow. From closing enterprise deals at BigCommerce to now leading strategic growth and partnerships at Crave Retail, where we\'re transforming how brands connect with shoppers in physical stores.At Crave, I work with some of the biggest names in retail to turn fitting rooms and store floors into intelligent, data-driven experiences. The result? Higher conversion, bigger baskets, and happier customers.Before Crave, I led solutions engineering teams at BigCommerce and Clyde, earning SE of the Year and building a reputation for pairing deep technical knowledge with a consultative, relationship-first approach.What I\'m most passionate about: the intersection of physical retail and technology. Brick-and-mortar isn\'t dying. It\'s being reinvented. I love helping brands figure out how.I also run Yikes Dude Agency, where I advise retail and eCommerce businesses on growth strategy, partnerships, and go-to-market. Recently, I\'ve expanded into AI and agentic solutions, helping businesses implement tools like OpenClaw agent setups and AI-powered workflows that automate operations and unlock new efficiencies.If you\'re a brand looking to elevate your in-store experience, or a business ready to explore what AI agents can do for you, let\'s connect.
