skinnyCorp Hires a New CEO

Ravenswood-based skinnyCorp, creators of Threadless.com, have brought in a new CEO to oversee the day-to-day operations of the community creating company.

Thomas Ryan will take the post being vacated by Jake Nickell, one of the site’s founding duo, who now becomes skinnyCorp’s Chief Strategy Officer. Ryan was previously an entrepreneur-in-residence at Bessemer Venture Partners with previous stints at EMI in the global digital music department, Virgin Mobile USA, eMusic, and Cductive where he was a co-founder before he sold the company to eMusic.

This appears to be a logical next-step for the company that saw the recent departure of co-founder Jacob DeHart, opened its first store (announced plans for more as well), is opening an office in Boulder, and is in the process of growing its new kids section.
