July 30, 2012“You have to be constantly looking at every part of your business. Every part at some point will break, and you’ll have to rethink it. And reinvest in it.”
Alexis Maybank, on what start-up life is like
Founder and Chief Strategy Office for Gilt Groupe
Found in Elle Magazine interview, “Gilt Complex”
Alexis Maybank, along with Alexandra Wilkins Wilson and three other cofounders, created Gilt Groupe in 2007, a members-only online-sample-sale juggernaut. Alexis brought her personal passions for online shopping, devotion to New York City designer sample sales, and her background in ecommerce to create a new experience for online shopping: membership to Gilt Groupe provides instant insider access to today’s top designer labels, at up to 60% off retail. Together, the founding team of five created a new way for millions of consumers to shop curated styles, goods and services, all at insider pricing. Today, Gilt Groupe sells over a half billion dollars’ worth of product.
