Davis Smith is the CEO of Cotopaxi, a company that sells a premium line of outdoor gear. Before founding Cotopaxi, a B-corp that has been a subject of a Harvard Business School case study, Smith had founded two other companies: baby.com.br and pooltable.com.

We asked him how he went from selling baby products in Brazil and pool tables in the US to founding Cotopaxi, and what being a certified B-Corp means to him and his business.
