About
Jake Nickell is the fearless entrepreneurial leader behind Threadless. Driven by a passion for learning new things - whether it’s how to create awesome t-shirts or how to continuously evolve a successful e-commerce site - Jake’s main focus is running the global, hugely successful business that Threadless is today. A creative and unconventional thinker, he constantly keeps Threadless one step ahead by encouraging out-of-the-box ideas and challenging the “business” side of running a business. Jake maintains his geek cred through a love for programming. When he’s not working, he’s busy hanging out with his wife Shondi, daughter Arli, and son Dash.Company Spotlight in Tech
