Expecting the Unexpected at Gilt, Glamsqad & Fitz
Alexandra and Jenna discuss how her new venture Fitz is helping people live a simplified life. She reflects on experiences at Gilt, from a surprise visit from Madonna to the more difficult growing pains of accommodating millions of shoppers and how they navigated almost needing a three-month hiatus selling their top brands. We discuss the leadership exercise she runs with her team, filling out the statement - Here’s what you need to know about me to influence me - and how it optimizes collaboration. We also cover the tips and tactics that helped her seed a network of more than 18,000 people and why you should always be open to asking people for help.
