Ask HN: Who is your favorite CEO and why?
For me, it’s “ Tony Hsieh ” the late former CEO of Zappos because of the kind of remarkable work he did with his customers and employees.
Melissa Butler founded The Lip Bar while working on Wall St. Watch her TED talk.
Yvon Chouinard founded Patagonia. He's passionate about being outside and wanted to create the most ideal products for exploring nature.
I Will check out both of them and their work in an extensive way.

Will search and learn about him in the upcoming days.
