Retail innovator Blake Mycoskie, chief executive officer at TOMS Shoes, will discuss building a global business with an altruistic core. Blake Mycoskie redefines the idea of walking in someone else's shoes. Since he founded TOMS Shoes for Tomorrow in 2006, he has donated more than 10,000 pairs of Argentine-style alpargatas to impoverished children in developing nations, from Argentina to South Africa. Former President Bill Clinton personally tapped Mycoskie to be a partner of the Clinton Global Initiative, which unites world and business leaders from a variety of backgrounds to channel the capacities of individuals and organizations to end poverty and unify the global community. Not a bad start for a young entrepreneur who visited Buenos Aires as a volunteer and returned to the United States as an entrepreneur whose business grew from three interns and a loft office in Venice Beach, CA to more than 40 employees and 600 stores around the world.
