This year, J.Crew is closing all of its stores and offices on Election
Day in an effort to encourage its workers to vote. It’s not a move you’d
expect from a major corporation. But Jan Singer isn’t your typical CEO.
In fact, she didn't even want to be a CEO when she started out — and her
(mostly male) superiors were quick to say she couldn't be a CEO unless
she changed who she was. She didn't. And now leads one of the most
iconic fashion retailers in America. We talked about her journey as a
leader, what she's learned from listening, and how the pandemic is
shaping J.Crew's outlook.
