Fashion giant Moda Operandi has announced that it is opening an office in Chicago, as reported by Built In Chicago. According to the company, the Chicago office will focus exclusively on the technology behind Moda Operandi’s fashion discovery and e-commerce platform.
Moda Operandi hopes to tap into Chicago’s rich tech talent pool and plans to hire quickly for engineering, product and design roles. According to the firm, early Chicago hires can expect complex challenges in supply chain and inventory systems, as reported by Built In.
“We’ve found that some of the country’s best engineers, product managers and designers hail from Chicago’s universities and startup scene,” CEO Ganesh Srivats explained to Built In, calling it a “no brainer” decision for the company to set roots in Chicago. “We’re building a world-class technology team and made a decision to meet that talent where they already are.”
According to Moda Operandi, the company will be hiring at least 30 team members before the end of 2019 with no plans of slowing down, as reported by Built In.
