SkyIntelligence Sets Retail AI Standards with LVMH, Nvidia, and Lenovo at World’s Largest Expo

Patricia Wilkey, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Solutions and Services Group at Lenovo, Lan Hu, Director of Strategic Business Development at Nvidia, Morgan Mao, Global CEO of SkyIntelligence, and Gonzague de Pierry, Chief Data Officer of LVMH, are sharing execution strategies and application cases under the theme "AI from the Perspective of the Distribution Industry."

SkyIntelligence, an AI solutions company specializing in synthetic data and an affiliate of the KOSDAQ-listed company SkyWorldwide (SKAI), announced on January 13 that it participated as an official session speaker at "NRF 2026: Retail’s Big Show," the world’s largest retail and distribution industry exhibition. During the event, SkyIntelligence shared AI execution strategies and real-world application cases in the retail sector alongside key speakers from Lenovo, LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), and Nvidia.

NRF 2026, which opened on January 11, is the world’s largest global showcase for the retail and distribution industry, attracting more than 5,000 brands and tens of thousands of industry professionals from over 100 countries. The event is being held at the Javits Convention Center in New York, USA, through January 13. This year’s NRF 2026 is themed "The Next Now," focusing on core technologies and business opportunities that will shape the future of the retail industry, including AI, unified commerce, sustainability, and personalized customer experiences.

SkyIntelligence was invited to participate in the official "Big Ideas (Exhibitor Big Ideas)" session, co-organized and sponsored by global IT companies Lenovo and Nvidia as part of the NRF 2026 official program. The panel discussion, titled "AI in Retail: From Hype to Sustainable Success," featured Patricia Wilkey, General Manager of Lenovo’s Solutions and Services Group, Ran Hu, Director of Strategic Business Development at Nvidia, and Gonzague de Pierry, Chief Data Officer (CDO) of LVMH, alongside SkyIntelligence.

The session highlighted the fact that, despite the growing adoption of AI across the retail industry, there remain significant gaps in strategy, infrastructure, organization, and execution that prevent AI from translating into tangible business outcomes. The speakers agreed that bottlenecks related to content, data, and operations during the execution phase after establishing an AI strategy are restricting the widespread adoption of AI.

In particular, the session introduced a successful case in which SkyIntelligence collaborated with global luxury group LVMH to create advertising and marketing content using AI in the retail industry. Morgan Mao, Global CEO of SkyIntelligence, explained, "Luxury brands like LVMH have extremely high and demanding standards, and maintaining the brand’s unique tone and identity is paramount. The core challenge was to leverage generative AI technology while achieving product quality that is nearly indistinguishable from real-life imagery."

Morgan Mao further stated, "SkyIntelligence is focused on expanding the creative scope into areas that are difficult to achieve through live-action shooting, while still delivering high-precision product quality that can be used in actual marketing environments." Gonzague de Pierry, CDO of LVMH, also expressed agreement with this approach, emphasizing that AI technology should not replace all aspects of creativity, but rather serve as a tool to enhance human creativity, thereby delivering real value in retail and marketing.

With its participation in NRF 2026, SkyIntelligence plans to further strengthen its competitiveness in synthetic data-based AI technology in the global retail and distribution market and to accelerate its global business expansion.
