Summary

As the co-founder and CEO of Material, Eunice Byun is modernizing the cooking experience through high-quality, thoughtfully designed tools for the kitchen. Since its launch in 2018, Material has been featured in publications such as NYT Cooking and Forbes and featured on GQ’s Best Stuff list. Behind the scenes, Byun uses Material's growing platform to amplify AAPI voices. But before she became a brand founder of her own, she actually had a career in corporate America at Goldman Sachs as a financial analyst. She then went on to help launch and advise several startups in the consumer space and eventually became the VP of global marketing at Revlon. On this episode of Second Life, find how Byun decided to make the pivot—and take a big leap of faith—to start her own company rooted in integrity in and out of the kitchen.
