Ep 43. Pete Nordstrom, President of Nordstrom

The Nordy Pod

For this episode Pete's taking the hot seat and fielding questions from The Nordy Pod editor, Nathan Shields, and co-producer, Kent Worthington. They discuss Pete's trajectory from stock boy to president, the likelihood of career detours, and important lessons in humility, authenticity, loyalty and hard work passed down directly from his father, Bruce Nordstrom. Pete also talks about the benefits of starting The Nordy Pod and how it's aided in expanding his curiosity in ways that help him to be a more effective leader. You'll also hear an incredible service story from Kent, who has held many different jobs within the company, which exemplifies some of the core values that make Nordstrom a lasting business. So much so, that Pete is confident that the integrity of the brand will endure long after he hands off the reins to the next generation of leaders. Reluctant to take credit for his own influence, Pete expresses great pride in every Nordstrom associate across the company that continually strives to exceed customer expectations day in and day out.
