How UNICORN Turned a Simple Question into a Corporate Revolution
Today, we’re thrilled to welcome Denielle Finkelstein and Thyme Sullivan, Co-CEOs and Co-Founders of UNICORN in EVERY stall, the company redefining bathroom equity.
Cousins and co-CEOs Danielle and Thyme left decades in fashion and consumer goods to create UNICORN. Their sleek dispensers put organic tampons and pads in every stall, just like toilet paper, at companies like JPMorgan Chase, American Express, PepsiCo, and Toyota. What started as a vision for dignity has become a movement transforming culture, productivity, and the future of work.
And on today’s episode we’re chatting about their story and how they are advancing the next generation of women, one bathroom stall at a time.
