This week on Haute Takes, Jules and Madi chat with President and COO of Indeed Labs Dimitra Davidson. Indeed Labs is a Canadian based skincare brand aimed at giving real results to real people. Before making the switch to skincare, Dimitra worked in finance and luxury sales with brands including Tiffany & Co. When the opportunity to touch and grow an affordable luxury skincare brand presented itself, she fearlessly jumped on it. Now, the skincare brand she co-founded with only three products has a global presence and a growing assortment. The Indeed Lab products are innovative and solution-driven, much like Dimitra. There is so much to learn from this #CareerQueen, so tune in to hear her share how she turned a personal pain point into a booming business, what it takes to remain competitive in a high pressure industry, and why optimism and fearlessness are keys to success.

Calling all #GirlBosses, get ready for a Haute Takes switch-up as Madi and Jules dive into the feminine care industry with Viv For Your V founder Katie Diasti. Viv For Your V is a DTC, period care brand aimed at providing anyone who menstruates with safe and sustainable products. The idea for Viv came to Katie while she was a student at Boston College studying marketing and managing social impact, and researching sustainability and periods. She immediately recognized pain points and used her network to transform her research into a game-changing business—like, same? After graduating from BC, Katie pivoted from accepting a full-time position at a big company to becoming a Gen Z founder. Tune in to hear how she got Viv off the ground, what her longterm goals are for Viv, how her team established the brand’s voice, what it’s like working with a very young team, and why the F#$% we need to make safe period care a priority!
