Ep 14 | Taking The Leap from Huge Companies to Emerging Brands | From Big -> Smaller Companies ft. Jamie A. Lee The Informational Interview

    • Personal Journals

Follow along as I interview Jamie Lee about her journey as an omni-channel e-commerce expert from working at massive companies like Nike, EA, and Sony, and her pivot to working with smaller, emerging brands like Everlane and Vital Proteins. Jamie's shift to smaller companies came as she realized she wanted to work in a faster paced environment, and to experience the challenged of making outsized impact with a smaller team.



In this episode, we'll talk with Jamie about her shift from huge corporate giants into emerging brands, about her refreshing approach to work-life balance, and why talking to people who are already in the environment you are looking to get into is the best way to de-risk the switch.


The Informational interview is the show about big career shifts and what they teach us about life. I'm your host, Lauren Fagan: a 30 something millennial, who does not have everything figured out. I believe the most wisdom comes from the people who have taken the biggest risks, and, in today's world, jumping into a brand new career feels like one of the biggest risks you can take. Join me each week as I interview guests who turn their world upside down by taking a sharp left turn in their career that led them down a completely different path.
