Lyndon Cormack | Managing Director & Co-Founder, Herschel Supply Co. | Scaling your business for success through agile decision-making and cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset
Download MP3“I think that the beauty of understanding at a young age that you can make something from nothing is probably a really important thing. You’re not given every opportunity or tool or experience just laid in front of you, you [have to] go and make your own.”
— Lyndon Cormack
Growing up in the city and visiting family in Herschel, SK, Lyndon Cormack spent much of his childhood exploring the outdoors. His love for adventure led him to travel the world and ultimately his first job in sales. As self-proclaimed chronic brainstormers, Lyndon and his brother Jamie were (and still are!) constantly bouncing cool ideas off each other. Eventually, they recognized a gap in the market for stylish yet affordable backpacks, and founded Herschel Supply Co. in 2009.
Headquartered in Vancouver, BC, Canada, Herschel Supply Co. is a design-driven global travel lifestyle brand producing timeless products with utility design. Originally renowned for their contemporary renditions of classic backpack silhouettes, Herschel Supply’s range has expanded significantly. Today, Herschel products are sold in 113 countries with more than 10,000 stockists worldwide.
