In his first-ever visit to Australia, Zappos.com CEO and eCommerce guru Tony Hsieh has signed on to present at two Business Chicks workshops.
Hsieh will share his insight as a thought leader and career highlights, which include founding LinkExchange, and billion dollar online retailer Zappos.com as well as writing a New York Times bestselling book, at two workshops in Sydney on Tuesday February 14 and Melbourne on Thursday February 16.
Despite selling Zappos.com to Amazon for US$1.2 billion, Hsieh remains as CEO of the business, ensuring his philosophy that business success is based on happiness continues in the company. It’s this approach that’s seen Zappos place number six on the Fortune Magazine ‘Best Companies To Work For’ 2011 list.
“We’re thrilled that Tony Hsieh will be sharing his wisdom, philosophies and experiences with the Business Chicks community and friends. Our workshop events broaden the thinking, awaken ideas and motivate our guests to achieve greater personal and business success,” Business Chicks CEO Emma Isaacs said.
“Accessing an entrepreneur of the calibre of Tony Hsieh will make for an extraordinary experience,” she added.
Tickets for the workshops begin at $299.00 and can be purchased here.
