CEO of Zappos.com, Hsieh’s revolutionary take on customer service has been a key part to why the company has grown from nearly no sales in 1999 when he took over, to over $1 billion in annual revenue.
With an innovative and humble management style, Hsieh has redefined the customer experience by allowing employees to work in a more liberal, open business setting. Focused on their core values, the online clothing retailer has made the “Best Places to Work For” list three years in a row. Hsieh’s 2010 bestseller Delivering Happiness explains the development of his philosophy as a CEO.
