Andrew Lissimore is the founder and CEO of Lantern, and he comes at AI shopping from the perspective of someone who has spent years actually running an ecommerce business. He is also the founder and CEO of Headphones.com, one of the best-known online retailers for high-end headphones and audio gear. That experience gave him a front-row seat to how quickly product discovery is moving beyond traditional search, and ultimately led him to build Lantern around a simple idea: if AI assistants are going to help decide what people buy, brands need a way to understand and influence how those decisions get made.
