Many companies were affected by the pandemic, but none were impacted as positively as Peloton. With everyone stuck in their homes overnight, the Peloton fitness community became a healthy lifeline to many, even though they were early in their own growth journey. And while their digital content is easily streamable via a number of devices, there still had to be an effective physical supply chain to get bikes and treads into consumers’ homes.
Jennifer McKeehan is Peloton’s Head of Global Supply Chain. She has more than 15 years’ experience in retail e-commerce supply chain operations and has been featured in Atlanta Business Journal's 40 under 40 program as well as Georgia Tech's first 40 under 40 program.
In this interview, Jennifer shares her journey and enthusiasm with Scott Luton and special guest host Allison Giddens, President of Win-Tech:
- The importance of embracing and identifying with the corporate culture of any company where you hope to be successful
- Why being vertically integrated has been both a blessing and a curse for Peloton as they try to scale their business and deliver against individual member promises at the same time
- How the hybrid work environment is allowing the best leaders to shine by continuing to build strong, meaningful relationships – even at a distance
