In 2020, Bricker drove the company to achieve year-overyear growth in excess of 25 percent—despite the downward trend in retail during the global pandemic—and solidified the company’s status as one of the most buzzworthy, purpose-driven eyewear brands. During her tenure with the company, Jodi has launched a series of celebrity collaborations with the most notable names in Hollywood, including Jennifer Lopez, Lizzo and Maluma, and donated over $750,000 to causes that amplify and nurture the self-expression, confidence, and wellbeing of their global community.

With over 25 years of experience driving rapid and sustainable growth across iconic American brands—and a keen understanding of customers, product and innovation—Bricker is an omni-channel retail expert and inspiring leader with a track record of driving multiple brands and businesses to $1B and beyond.
