  4. Jennifer Wong (Aritzia) on Rising from Sales Associate to CEO, the Styling Suite Experience, and Building a Generational Brand
Jennifer Wong started as a Sales Associate at Aritzia… 39-years
later, she’s running the company as CEO. Today, Jennifer joins
Sammi to share how she almost left Aritzia for a career in banking,
why founder Brian Hill convinced her to stay, and what it was like
succeeding him after nearly four decades working alongside him. She
explains the philosophy behind Aritzia's "everyday luxury," why the
company has continued investing in physical retail while others
have pulled back, and the thinking behind some of its most
distinctive experiences (think mirrorless fitting rooms and
complimentary personal styling appointments). Jennifer also breaks
down how Aritzia navigated tariffs and supply chain disruptions,
why timeless design is central to the brand's sustainability
strategy, and what she thinks so many direct-to-consumer brands got
wrong. Plus, she shares the leadership principles that have helped
Aritzia retain employees for decades and why she still visits
boutiques every few months. Follow ⁠Sammi Cohen on Instagram ⁠

Deine Privatkopie der Folgen, die du nicht verlieren willst.

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
  • Herunterladen bleibt möglich, solange die Folge beim Podcaster liegt. Der zählt seine Abrufe wie bisher.
