Life after the Olympics: Jamie Anderson eyes organic underwear line
ByÂ
While 27-year-old Jamie Anderson has been bombarded with a slew of business deals after making Olympic history this February — as the first female snowboarder to earn two gold medals — she says she has some business plans of her own.
“I have always wanted to start my own company, but it’s challenging in a world where I have so many partners that almost cover every single category,” Anderson tells FOX Business.
Over the years, the Lake Tahoe native has signed a barrage of deals with companies ranging from Procter & Gamble (who is currently promoting its Downy Nature Blends products) to United Airlines to clothing designer Ralph Lauren, but she says she still sees two areas for opportunities.
“I have always been crocheting hats and my mom has an alpaca farm in Vermont and my future goal is to use her fabric from her alpacas, which is the most sustainable and really the most beautiful wool on the market and I would love to make hats and do some charitable cause with the product,” Anderson says, adding that she also wants to create “an organic cotton underwear line.”
