Eddie Bauer CEO & Yvon Chouinard Protégé, Tim Bantle, Charts a New Path for the 100+ Yr Legacy Brand

Behind the Brand with Bryan Elliott

For more than 100 years, Eddie Bauer has been outfitting people for adventures big and small - first through the small curated sports shop in downtown Seattle and eventually through the brand’s 268 stores across the US and their strong e-commerce platform.
As CEO Tim Bantle is reaching the nearly two-year mark at Eddie Bauer, he has played a key role in leading the charge with unveiling a global rebrand under a new brand evolution strategy, aiming to shift the foundational narrative of the American Outdoors brand to accessible adventure for all.
