Head Of People & Inclusion 🔥


Parade is a self-expression brand. We make Creative Basics—underwear that celebrates who you are today. We believe that women’s underwear is a replenishment category that needs a mass-market challenger brand focused on delivering style and fabric innovation.

Parade has been honored by the Webby Awards and featured in InStyle [1]Nylon [2]Teen Vogue.  [3]Refinery29 [4]Forbes [5] and other publications. Parade has raised more than $6M to date from top investors such as Greycroft and Lerer Hippeau, and the founders of Warby Parker, Casper, Bonobos, and Away. In our first full year, we’re on track to do $10M in revenue and sell over 750K pairs of underwear!
