Conversations with Visionary Leaders on Modern Leadership
Welcome, Andy Dunn
Andy Dunn is a serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author. He co-founded Bonobos, a men's clothing brand, in 2007, where he held the role of CEO for a decade. Bonobos distinguished itself as the first major U.S. brand to initiate operations predominantly online, innovating an inventory-free retail approach that reshaped shopping in the digital age. In 2017, Dunn oversaw the sale of Bonobos to Walmart, a deal valued at $310 million.
While his career path reads like a narrative of triumph, Dunn's personal journey is more nuanced. In May 2022, he released a memoir titled Burn Rate: Launching a Startup and Losing My Mind, which delves into his experiences balancing the demands of entrepreneurship with living with bipolar disorder.
His story is a candid exploration of the complex interplay between innovative thinking, reality, and leadership. Dunn is committed to using his experiences to foster a broader understanding and reevaluation of mental health and wellness in the context of business and innovation.
