The Future of Consumerism and Commerce: Angelo Takes the TED Stage

Business models -- why some brands succeed and others fail. But what’s the secret to a successful business model? Contrary to popular belief, it transcends profit. In fact, it must. As we enter a new era being shaped by a global pandemic, business and consumerism confront a higher calling. Business powers our lives but its superpowers are grossly underutilized. It’s time we reframed – beyond profit and beyond even purpose-driven business models. Join Growth Strategist, Impact Speaker and MBA, Lindsay Angelo, in a thought-provoking, head-meets-heart journey that demystifies how brands grow in a pandemic and beyond. Named a global innovation leader and Woman to Watch, you can find Lindsay Angelo at the intersection of brand strategy and storytelling. It’s here she consults with brands to drive growth while delivering ground-breaking insights on the future of consumerism and social impact growth models. A born entrepreneur, Lindsay is the creator of a signature blueprint for driving brand growth and impact. Prior to launching her own consulting practice, she spent six years at lululemon crafting their global strategy and growing the company into the biggest yoga wear brand in the world. Lindsay now advises global brands & businesses, early stage companies and private equity funds, including lululemon, the LEGO Group, WeWork and Norwest Ventures; she is a contributor to media and research houses including the National Post and the World Business Research organization. Lindsay’s experiences culminate at her sweet spot - where the rational meets the emotive, where facts meet insights and where logic meets creativity.

Why Self Actualization Is The Future of Retail - Retail Executive Magazine Exclusive by Lindsay Angelo

Why Self Actualization Is The Future of Retail - Retail Executive Magazine Exclusive by Lindsay Angelo

Understanding your customer’s basic, societal, and growth needs should influence your current strategies and offerings. What is the future of retail? A question that has stirred up spirited debate — one we are reminded of with a simple walk to the grocery store or while mulling over a gum purchase. The notion of looking in unordinary places to answer ordinary questions has always inspired me. Triggered by a desire to pursue a consulting venture that provoked positive change and coming off six years in strategy at Lululemon, this trail led me to none other than the field of evolutionary psychology. If that phrase conjures up Psychology 101 and images of Abraham Maslow, you’re on the right track. It is in the posthumous of Maslow’s work and its iterations that lay an undiscovered truth that, if unpacked, can open up a world of opportunity.

Boston's Front End of Innovation wraps!

I was asked to share my insights on the link between yoga and strategy at the Front End of Innovation in Boston, MA earlier this year. Having spent seven years working in the athletic apparel space, six of those with the market leader in yoga apparel, this is something to which I've dedicated hours if not days of mind share. To what end? There are three things I believe they have in common - growth, alignment and core. Curious to hear more? Look for my next post and catch some additional FEI highlights below!

Lindsay Angelo is a former Strategist with Lululemon but is now pursuing a new venture as a strategy consultant.

She also touched on what brands she sees doing things right and what the innovation scene looks like in Vancouver.

It’s challenging to list all of the things causing angst for the retail sector, from Amazon to new startups to the death of once-popular malls around the country.

But according to Lindsay Angelo, a former Strategy Manager at Vancouver-based lululemon athletica, all that disruption creates the imperative to think differently and take risks. (Angelo left the company earlier this month, and is now a growth strategy consultant.)
