In his role as StoreConnect COO, Zammit will be able to combine this business acumen with the insights he obtained during more than five years of working with StoreConnect as a customer. A long-time fan of the company’s business model, Zammit explains that StoreConnect is much more than the one-and-done eCommerce platform providers many smaller businesses are used to.
