Connor Wilson of Thursday Boot Company
Connor is the Cofounder and Executive Chairman of Thursday Boot Company.
He started this business with his Cofounder and CEO Nolan Walsh out of a NYC apartment back in 2014. With no prior experience and only their personal savings, the two of them embarked on a journey to bring quality back to footwear by combining classic craftsmanship with modern technology.
Today, Thursday is a leading American e-commerce brand offering men's and women's footwear and accessories that emphasize quality, comfort and versatility.
I’m fascinated with how they approaches sustainability and how they’re constantly innovating and improving. It even caught the attention of a big brand competitor. With more brands innovating like Thursday, it will inspire big brands to adopt sustainable practices and change the world for the better.
