Great leaders don’t just run companies. They set the rhythm, shape the culture, and build belief.

Sacha Laing has led some of Australia’s most iconic retail brands—CEO of General Pants, Group Executive at David Jones and Country Road Group, and now CEO of Adore Beauty. Beyond the titles is a leader anchored in family, clarity, and conviction.

This episode looks beyond strategy. We talk about values as decision filters, the cultural clarity required to scale, and what legacy means when no one’s watching. From boardrooms to home life, Sacha brings a rare blend of consistency and heart.

This conversation is leadership with substance.

~ General Pants as a defining chapter – Turning around a youth brand with edge, vision, and a clear cultural pulse ~ The human behind the title – How Sacha stays anchored to family, perspective, and personal clarity ~ Leadership that drives change – Lessons from leading major brand transformations under pressure ~ Values as a decision filter – How Sacha makes complex calls in fast-paced, high-stakes environments ~ The quiet power of consistency – Why leadership is built in the unseen moments, not just the public ones

Sacha Laing doesn’t lead for applause. He leads with alignment, impact, and integrity. His story shows that real leadership comes from clarity—what you build, how you build it, and who you become in the process.
