Do Climbers Make Better Business Leaders? A Conversation With Black Diamond's President
Manage episode 442300920 series 3416878
Today on THE ROCK FIGHT (an outdoor podcast that aims for the head) we sit down with Neil Fiske, the president of Black Diamond.
Two stories lead to this conversation. First was the news that broke a few months back about BD 'narrowing their focus' after years of unwieldy expansion and then the story from a few weeks back about BD investing in and taking over Wilderness Exchange in Denver while retaining that retailers current ownership.
There is clearly something interesting happening at Black Diamond that is bucking current trends when it comes to brands in the outdoor industry. And Neil Fiske is on the show today to dig into the decision to step back, BD's retail strategy, and the brands approach to their sustainability/circularity initiatives.
