Hey everyone, welcome to the restless ones, I'm Jonathan Strickland.

As always, my focus is on exploring the intersection of technology and business by having conversations

with the most forward-thinking leaders.

Throughout my career, I've covered everything from massive parallel processing to advanced

robotics, but what truly inspires me are the stories of innovation and transformation.

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Samontani Godbole, the chief digital and

information officer at Lowe's.

Samontani's background is in mathematics and engineering, and we hit it off right away.

I quickly learned about both her perspective on technological innovation and on business leadership.

When presented with a challenge, Samontani begins exploring solutions through collaboration

and thinking outside the box, all while maintaining an enthusiasm around her work.

And Samontani has played a pivotal role in guiding decisions and strategies at Lowe's,

as the company has embraced digitalization to improve the experiences of customers,

partners, and associates alike.

But before we dive into all the work she's doing at Lowe's,

I wanted to take a little time to learn more about Samontani herself.

Samontani, thank you so much for joining us on the restless ones.

I'm extremely excited to have this conversation with you today.

Jonathan, great to be here.

I'm really looking forward to this conversation.

Before we jump into all the amazing work done over at Lowe's,

I always like to get to know my guest a little bit better.
