Kaan AykacGUEST
It really taught me about how everything must be perfect at all times.
Kaan AykacGUEST
And I think that really honed my attention to detail and what luxury experience means for customers.
Kaan AykacGUEST
And then after two years of there, that's when I joined Electrolux with an opportunity to basically scale this e-commerce and DTC business in an already billion dollar organization, where most other opportunities in e-commerce is trying to grow in single digits, a massive e-commerce business in an already massive conglomerate.

It used to build appliances.
Naomi KleinGUEST
It was an Electrolux factory.
Naomi KleinGUEST
It used to employ about a thousand people.

Dennis DickHOST
The piece on the washing machine upstairs, the Electrolux, which is a $2,000 washing machine, um, the piece in it is made out of plastic on the inside, and it's under constant water pressure 'cause it's the mixer.
Dennis DickHOST
So the water is in there constantly.

sell vacuums for a company called Electrolux.
Peter MinglesHOST
And some of the challenges with hiring people for a vacuum cleaner company would be the vacuum cleaner company.
Peter MinglesHOST
Like they may not have had any problem with me, but if they're going to drive up to see a store and then, you know, park their car, walk up through the vacuum cleaner store, around the vacuum cleaner store, they've seen they're selling vacuums.
