What attracted you to LS&Co.?

A few things. First, the company has strong values. Second, Levi’s® is an iconic global brand with a compelling story that’s uniquely San Francisco — I’ve always worn Levi’s®, and I live in San Francisco. Brands are important, and Levi’s® is a strong global brand.

What does success look like in your job?

Levi.com and Levi’s® stores become the best apparel shopping experience and continue to help build the Levi’s® brand globally.

Who is the most famous person you’ve ever met?

I was lucky enough to work with Steve Jobs for many years.
