Sarah Rasmusen
Chief Customer Officer, Lands' End
Lands’ End was founded in 1963 by Gary Comer when he and four friends opened Lands’ End in a basement office on Chicago’s Elston Avenue. Launched as a mail-order operation for yachting gear‚ the businesses filled 15 orders on a good day and took three years to see a profit. The company grew to become a million-dollar business by 1977, fueled by savvy customer-service initiatives, like a generous returns policy, and smart marketing decisions to create a catalogue with engaging stories and models who looked like real people and engaging stories. Comer relocated the headquarters to its current home in Dodgeville, Wisc. three years later.
At the next Icons in Business, you’ll hear from Sarah Rasmusen, the chief customer officer for Lands' End. Responsible for leading customer experiences, Rasmusen will share insight into the opportunities and challenges facing Lands’ End, along with some of the ways the company focuses on the priorities in its customers' lives that lead to business growth.
