sweet, forthcoming and the nicest person\u2026 especially indulging while I gushed over how amazing I think the Gilt business is.  If you don\u2019t know much about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gilt.com\">Gilt.com<\/a> here\u2019s my Readers Digest-esque version: Wilson and one of her good friends Alexis Maybank who she had attended business school with had an unusual idea to create an invitation only website offering short \u201cflash\u201d sales on high end and luxury fashions.  They brought in Kevin Ryan their founding Chairman, along with Mike Bryzek and Phong Nguyen their brilliant engineers. <\/p>\n<p> When the company first started (pre-social networking days) the team reached out to their personal contacts to create their first member \u201cinvitation\u201d lists which happened to be just two weeks prior to the site launching.  The company was poised to change the landscape of how we shopped.  What was once a leisurely affair often taking most of the day would now become a fast paced and competitive rush.  The first sale was with Zac Posen just five years ago and now the company includes womens, mens, baby &#038; kids, home, food &#038; wine, city and travel.  The journey was not without it\u2019s up and downs but the founders of the company prove that with a little creative quick thinking, persistence and problem solving skills you really can achieve anything.  This \u201clittle company that could\u201d has really changed the way we shop and the way e-commerce and online start- ups do business.  There of course have been a myriad of imitators but Gilt is still on top.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/22080858\/By-Invitation-Only-Cover.jpeg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/22080858\/By-Invitation-Only-Cover-80x95.jpeg\"  alt=\"\"  title=\"By-Invitation-Only-Cover\"  width=\"590\"  height=\"701\"  class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15498 pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 590px) 100vw, 590px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/22080858\/By-Invitation-Only-Cover.jpeg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/22080858\/By-Invitation-Only-Cover.jpeg 590w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/22080858\/By-Invitation-Only-Cover-252x300.jpeg 252w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/22080858\/By-Invitation-Only-Cover-380x451.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/22080858\/By-Invitation-Only-Cover-80x95.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/22080858\/By-Invitation-Only-Cover-67x80.jpeg 67w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alexandra Wilson will be at Neiman Marcus tonight for a special event.
