Event: Listening to Gen-Z
We hosted a frank and dynamic conversation that dug into integrating the people- and planet-first mindset of Gen-Z into workplace culture. This event encompassed hopeful visions for the future of work as well as simple, concrete practices that can be integrated into any workplace to promote people-first cultures. Our co-Founder Michael Braithwaite was joined by:
Rocco Kayiatos — As the former Chief Marketing Officer at FOLX Health, Rocco helped launch the company from seed funding to Series B.
Nadya Okamoto — Nadya is the Gen Z co-founder of August, a lifestyle brand leading the fight to dismantle period stigma for all menstruators, regardless of gender or background.
