Since 2008, James has referred to her as Team Wedmore’s “Secret Weapon.”

     

    Jen Peterson started her career at lululemon in 2013, and was able to open and manage one of the highest grossing stores in the Tri State area, lead “Here To Be” (a lululemon community program offering grants to non-profits supporting at risk communities) and supported United We Om (Long Island Yoga Non-Profit) to receive the annual $20k grant from lululemon.

    Jen relocated to Texas in 2017 and transitioned to a career at Tesla. She began in a leadership development role, responsible for training and developing store leaders to support their teams in driving measurable results in sales and delivery operations. She was promoted into 5 different leadership roles during her 5 year tenure, notably piloting and creating the role of General Manager and was responsible for sales, delivery and service operations for North West Texas.

He shared what he learned through this podcast, so listeners can use the same principles and strategy like he did.
