?? 職務(wù)：聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼CEO

?? 任職公司：在線日用品零售商Wayfair

????大家可能沒有聽說(shuō)過(guò)Wayfair公司，也沒有聽說(shuō)過(guò)有人把日用品（人造花、風(fēng)扇和消防坑等）在線供應(yīng)商做成了銷售收入約10億美元的生意。2002年，CEO沙阿和他的康奈爾大學(xué)（Cornell）同學(xué)史蒂夫?康奈從racksandstands.com網(wǎng)站開始創(chuàng)業(yè)，并迅速擴(kuò)大業(yè)務(wù)，購(gòu)買了數(shù)十個(gè)有利可圖的域名，還從零開始創(chuàng)建了多個(gè)網(wǎng)站，如simplydogbeds.com、justshagrugs.com和dinnerplates.com。2011年，公司從CSN Stores更名為Wayfair（700名員工穿著Wayfair工作服，穿梭在波士頓的酒吧之間幫助宣傳公司的新名稱）。如今，Wayfair有三個(gè)主要網(wǎng)站W(wǎng)ayfair、限時(shí)搶購(gòu)網(wǎng)站Joss & Main和高端品牌AllModern.com，成為最大的僅在線銷售日用品的企業(yè)。今年夏天，Wayfair收購(gòu)了紐約零售商時(shí)尚生活品牌DwellStudio。波士頓的商界正密切關(guān)注著Wayfair即將進(jìn)行的IPO。我們打賭杰夫?貝佐斯肯定也在關(guān)注Wayfair。

????You may not have heard of Wayfair, but neither have a lot of the people who've turned the online purveyor of home goods (faux florals, ceiling fans, fire pits) into a nearly $1-billion-in-sales business. CEO Shah and his Cornell classmate Steve Conine started out with racksandstands.com in 2002 and quickly expanded, buying dozens of niche domain names and launching many from scratch—simplydogbeds.com, justshagrugs.com, dinnerplates.com—and in 2011 changing the company name from CSN Stores to Wayfair (700 employees went on a Boston bar crawl in Wayfair T-shirts to help market the new name). Today under three main sites—Wayfair, flash-sales site Joss & Main, and the higher-end AllModern.com—it's the biggest online-only homegoods seller, and this summer it acquired New York retailer DwellStudio. The Boston business community is keeping close watch for an imminent IPO. We bet Jeff Bezos is too.
