About
Selene Casabal-Cruz is a strategic product leader, growth advisor, and former founder with deep experience launching and scaling commerce, creator, and retail technology platforms. She cofounded Showcast and Re:store, building businesses at the intersection of content, commerce, and real-world retail.
At Showcast, she led efforts to enable creators and social sellers to monetize live, video-based commerce experiences. At Re:store, she built infrastructure and services to help digital-first brands manage physical distribution, inventory insights, and experiential retail activation.
Selene works today with founders in e-commerce, live commerce, creator platforms, and retail innovation—helping them sharpen product-market fit, scale sustainably, and become acquisition targets.
“I believe the best exits are born when you build with empathy, embed creator economies into commerce, and let product lead with purpose.”
