Ariane Goldman

After eight years in business at American Express, Ariane founded her first company, twobirds Bridesmaid, in 2006 in order to offer a one-­‐size-­‐fits-­‐all design that can be wrapped in over fifteen ways to flatter women of all shapes and sizes. twobirds is based on the needs of millions of women to invest in an important milestone for a loved one, while also buying a dress that can be worn after the wedding (thus, “killing two birds with one stone”). twobirds headquarters is located in New York with presence in over 100 boutiques across the world and through select online retailers.

Newly pregnant in 2010, Ariane was similarly frustrated by the lack of stylish clothing options in the maternity market, and realized a second void in women’s apparel: she founded HATCH to provide a collection of chic clothing solutions to invest in during pregnancy and to wear long after the bump is gone. The HATCH Collection now includes complete head-­‐to-­‐toe styling, as well as HATCH Mama, a line of toxin-­‐free lotions and potions for women during pregnancy and postpartum.  Additionally, HATCH has recently opened its first retail location in SOHO New York to compliment its fast growing direct-­‐to-­‐consumer business model. 

Ariane’s commitment to giving women what they need during life’s most challenging and important moments extends as well to her commitment to Every Mother Counts, a charity founded by Christy Turlington Burns to ensure maternal health for millions of women globally.
