Just over a week ago, I had the privilege of running the New York City Marathon. It was my second time in the race, and the energy was even more amazing than I remembered. The experience was made even better by seeing On’s strong brand momentum firsthand in the US, and among the many runners worldwide who travel for these pinnacle moments. We brought LightSpray – just named one of TIME's top inventions of 2024 – to our pop-up in the heart of SoHo, offering the Cloudboom Strike LS to our fans for the first time. Our Right to Run partners joined us to share how movement is driving progress in communities across the city. And On was everywhere out on the course; from Hellen Obiri’s second place finish to the first-time marathoners embracing our latest innovations. It’s special to come back after these big moments for our team and share our collective progress with the investor community. Q3 has been - with quite some distance - the strongest quarter in our history across almost all financial metrics. We reached record Net Sales of 635.8 million Swiss Francs in Q3, growing by 32.3%. And our highest Gross Profit and EBITDA margin since our IPO in 2021. I wish I would have been able to accelerate my speed in the second half of the marathon race in the same way we were able to accelerate our business growth in the third quarter of the year. In the early years of the brand we had the big dream to reach the magic number of 1 million pairs of shoes sold on an annual basis. We finally reached that aspiration in 2017. In Q3, we had the first single week in our history, with more than 1 million pairs sold. Proud of the forward momentum our teams are driving, including the improvements we’ve made to delivering operational excellence this year and to position On for the next chapter of growth. Dream On. https://lnkd.in/dr3bUsWV https://lnkd.in/dFx58kxB

How do you scale your startup without losing its soul? (And, let’s be honest—when your house is on fire, culture is not the intuitive thing you think about fixing first, but shouldn't it be?) As founders and operators, we know the pressures of scaling—faster growth, leaner teams, and endless fires to put out. But what happens to the culture that got you here? Can you really keep that entrepreneurial energy alive as you add hundreds (or thousands) of people? In our latest episode of the Follow the Gradient podcast, Christian and I sat down with Noa Perry-Reifer, Chief People Officer at On, to explore how ON grew from 100 to 3000 employees while aiming to keep their startup spirit intact. A few takeaways from our conversation with Noa: 👉🏼 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞: The priority founders place on culture—and how they model those values—has a huge impact on how the culture evolves as the company scales. 👉🏼 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞: Hiring, onboarding, and empowering employees are critical to ensuring the culture scales with the company. 👉🏼 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Clearly define and communicate values (and no, putting the values on the wall doesn't change 𝘢𝘯𝘺 behavior), then bring them to life through everyday actions and storytelling. 👉🏼 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Be this by introducing flexible vacation or no-approval expense policies, it empowers employees and maintains agility Listen to the full episode on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
