ANDREW SMITH
Director of Retail Operations, Telstra, and his team*

innovation, Andrew moved into the Operations central support team and has

omnichannel as a strategy, instead turning it into an everyday mindset.
Andrew and his team launched their strategy publically in October 2014 with the
opening of the Sydney Discovery Store, Telstra’s flagship with innovations such
as Tap&Take (allowing customers to move seamlessly from physical to
digital) and the service experience design principle of ‘Never leave the
customer’s side’ with human focused technology such as the tablet companion and
mobile card facilities. Melbourne Discovery Store opened on November 30th
2015.
