Description

When Michelle Kelly started at Lilly Pulitzer in 2004, her business card read “Major Stores Development Manager.” Now, it says “CEO.” Kelly has held 8 different titles across at least 4 different departments at the company — from retail, to merchandising, marketing, to e-commerce. So in this episode, we chat with Michelle about the art of the pivot. Started from the bottom, now we here. 

In this episode, Michelle shares:

How to tell your boss you want to try something new

What it was like to take on growth roles and “start over” on new teams

What it’s like to manage your friends and peers 

How she thinks about balancing trying new things and moving up the ladder
