@janettenelson

Founder and Director at SYNCgaze, developing RGaze storefront widgets and PGaze predictive merchandising analytics to address retail margin loss.

United Kingdom
Message

At SYNCgaze Ltd, I advanced a 2023 concept to a 2026 proof of concept for a spatial commerce platform combining RGaze visual validation viewports and PGaze merchandising analytics. I architected storefront widgets and automated planograms with predictive demand forecasting.

I deployed a secure private sandbox for investor demonstrations and enterprise white-label validation, and built platform privacy mechanisms to address retail returns, overstock and margin leakage.

At Ambition Institute, I coordinated the DfE Initial Teacher Training bid across IT, sales and programme teams, facilitating agile workflows and post-submission evaluations. At LexisNexis (LexisCreate), I delivered Level 2 application support and coordinated fixes with DevOps teams.

Across research and commercial roles, I conducted UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 privacy audits, managed research contract and grant processes, and developed multinational B2B growth structures. I also worked in retail product training and analysis, and as a broadcast journalist, producer and recording artist.
