×DICK'S Sporting GoodsJeremy, picking up where we left off
Great connecting with you on LinkedIn. You're navigating the biggest integration in retail history, and we have first-hand experience with the Foot Locker stack you're inheriting. Thought it was worth a deeper look.

Why we're reaching out
The Foot Locker Connection
We know the tech stack you're inheriting
Liatrio worked alongside Foot Locker's engineering teams to accelerate delivery, mature their platform engineering practices, and build AI-ready capabilities. Now that DSG has acquired Foot Locker, we can bridge the gap.
The Integration Challenge
The $7.1B Foot Locker acquisition is the defining technology challenge of this era at DSG. Merging two massive retail technology stacks - POS, inventory, e-commerce, supply chain, loyalty - across 3,200+ stores and 20 countries. With a compressed Back-to-School 2026 deadline.
Your NRF 2026 talk on fulfilling 80% of online orders from stores shows exactly the kind of omnichannel engineering ambition we love to enable. That's the muscle Liatrio builds.
What Liatrio Brings
- ✓Deep familiarity with Foot Locker's engineering culture and systems
- ✓Proven engineering effectiveness acceleration - not just tooling, but team behavior change
- ✓Platform engineering & IDP expertise that complements DSG's active IDP build
- ✓AI enablement for engineering teams - building capability, not buying point solutions
Built for This Moment
Four reasons this partnership makes sense
Engineering Velocity at Scale
During a massive integration, headcount is flat but commitments aren't. Liatrio's Forge program accelerates engineering output without adding bodies - exactly what the Foot Locker integration demands.
Internal Developer Platform
DSG is actively hiring for IDP and Developer Experience roles. We specialize in standing up IDPs that actually change engineering behavior - not just tooling, but adoption and cultural shift.
AI Enablement Beyond Vendors
DSG has production AI from Oracle, Inspectorio, and Metrical - all vendor-delivered. The next phase is building internal AI capability so your teams can create and ship AI-powered products.
Practitioner-Level Impact
Accenture and Deloitte are at the board level. Liatrio operates where code ships - empowering your engineering teams to build, experiment, and deliver. We complement the big firms, not compete.
Let's keep this going, Jeremy
We've been swapping notes on LinkedIn. Ready to go deeper on what we saw at Foot Locker and how it maps to what you're building at DSG?
