ABOUT THE EPISODE
After graduating from college, Jyothi Rao joined Gap Inc., where she spent 16 years climbing the ladder, serving the company in different roles. From there, she moved along to become Executive Vice President and General Manager of Gilt.com—where she was instrumental in growing the business into a leading digital fashion site.
Now, she’s CEO of INTERMIX, and successfully led the luxury women’s brand transformation into the leading omnichannel fashion boutique that it’s known as today.
Jyothi is joining WorkParty today to chat about all things career growth—she’s sharing the details of her journey climbing the corporate ranks, what it means to make intentional career moves, and the importance of establishing a positive work culture that fosters growth. Plus, the strategies that set Intermix apart from the rest—and advice for small businesses to do the same.
