Dave Gilboa (Direct-to-Consumer / Retail Tech) at Warby Parker — New York, United States

Dave Gilboa co-founded Warby Parker with Neil Blumenthal after losing an expensive pair of glasses and being shocked at the cost to replace them — the founding insight that inspired the company. As co-CEO, Gilboa has overseen Warby Parker's retail expansion, insurance partnerships, and vision care services expansion. A Wharton MBA, he has been a strong advocate for "holistic" DTC retail models that blend physical and digital experiences thoughtfully.
