More than the clothes we create, Gap Inc. is defined by its people. Our dedicated, eclectic, passionate culture is driven by pros, with personality. Say hello, get to know us, and take a closer look at what (and who) we're made of. Introducing our new weekly series, highlighting just some of the many people who make Gap Inc. great. #WeAreGapInc
Some people have a knack for bringing out the best in others, and Jonathan Becton is one of those people. Good thing, too, given that Jonathan is charged with finding new talent for some of the most creative roles across Gap Inc. His energy is infectious — as is his smile — and you can't help but notice the spirit in his style, the swagger in his step. He invites conversation with his presence alone, which made the afternoon we spent with him fly by; filled with too much to talk about, vintage YSL lapel pins, and lots of Chaka Khan.
