Joe Cano (Zappos) | Delivering WOW Through 25 years of Service

The holiday season is in full swing, so this week Jim is paying a visit to one of the most loved retailers in the world. The guest this week on The CMO Podcast is Joe Cano, the Chief Marketing, Merchandising and Growth Officer for Zappos, the e-commerce company famous for its customer-obsessed culture. Zappos was founded in 1999 by Tony Hsieh, and sold to Amazon in 2009 for about $1.2 billion in an all-stock deal. Today, Zappos sells shoes of course, but also handbags, clothing, and accessories. Joe has deep experience in fashion and retailing. He spent seven years at Saks Fifth Avenue, and four years at Walmart.com. Earlier in his career, he worked for a variety of youth fashion retailers, including Forever 21, Wet Seal, and Hot Topic. Joe joined Zappos in June 2022, and was promoted to Chief Marketing, Merchandising and growth Officer about 18 months ago. Tune in for a conversation celebrating 25 years of a successful brand with a guest who loves the holiday season.
