You work as a communication specialist at Warby Parker, reporting to co-CEO David Gilboa. Using the skills youve been practicing in this course, respond to this challenge:
Youre helping Gilboa prepare a report about the company. Gilboa characterizes the report as a public business plan, in that it will discuss the company and its objectives, strategies, and operations without disclosing the sort of confidential international that a typical business plan includes. The target audience includes potential investors, employees, and business partners.
