Women's Retail Collective Podcast: CEO Tuft & Needle, EVP DTC Serta/Simmons Shelley Huff

Anne Mezzenga sits down with Shelley Huff, EVP Direct-to-Consumer Serta/Simmons and CEO Tuft & Needle as part of her ongoing Women's Retail Collective Podcast Series. Shelley's career is unique in that it mirrors how shopping has evolved from her first retail job as a mall department store associate to her current role as CEO of one of the largest DTC categories in retail at Tuft & Needle. Shelley also shares several stories with Anne, including how she worked up the ranks from folding jeans in a Walmart store (wait until you hear what she found in a stack of jeans one day!)to leading several business units within Walmart's e-commerce division. This episode is full of great advice. Shelley talks about developing your own personal board of directors, how to handle failure and mistakes, and then closes by giving Anne her own personal Shelley-palooza concert lineup.
