Dave Gilboa – Co-Founder & Co-CEO – Warby Parker
When he was a student at Wharton Business School, Dave Gilboa and his friends commiserated over the steep price of eyeglasses. This trivial conversation sparked a revolutionary idea. In 2010 they launched one of the most sought-after brands in retail: Warby Parker. Today Dave is Co-CEO of Warby Parker. Warby Parker offers affordable glasses as well as a free try-on at home option. They have retail locations across the country and Canada.
Beyond that, the company employs a social entrepreneurship program, distributing free eyeglasses to those in need. Dave's achievements have earned him a Henry Crown Fellowship, and the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award. Through his work at Warby Parker, Dave Gilboa is showing companies that they can profitable and be a force for good in the world. Today we speak about innovation, success and social responsibility.
