Hey Budai Nation,

I’m thrilled to announce that we’ll be speaking with Angela Clark from Patagonia on this episode of The Ecom Show. With over 50 years of experience under its belt, this three-billion-dollar brand is one of the biggest names in the outdoor clothing industry.

You may have heard of them back in 2022, when the founder Yvon Chouinard, took the world by surprise by announcing his retirement news. He transferred 98% of the company to a non-profit entity called Holdfast Collective, which will oversee that the company’s annual profit, about $100 million per year, will be used to support the fight against climate change. The other 2% has been retained by Patagonia Purpose Trust, an entity overseen by members of the family, and a group of close advisors to ensure that the company makes good on its decision to be socially responsible. Patagonia’s success can be attributed to its unwavering commitment to social responsibility and thoughtful leadership. 

We’re extremely delighted to welcome Angela Clark, the head of the digital studio at Patagonia, to this episode of The Ecom Show. Angela has worked for several iconic American brands like True Religion and Levi Strauss prior to her role at Patagonia. In this episode, we will be discussing her expertise in digital and e-commerce marketing, and explore the leadership approach behind Patagonia’s global success.
