#20 Faces of Marketing: Kirsten Quigley, founder of LunchSkins

My sister + best friend, Kirsten Quigley, is founder + CEO of LunchSkins - an eco-friendly alternative to Ziploc baggies designed to reduce plastic pollution and sold in Target grocery, Whole Foods, Container Store and hundreds of retailers across North America. Kirsten shares openly about the extreme stress of betting the company on a new product line of recyclable paper bags versus the reusable fabric bags that consumers were using for years. As kids, we had a bunch of weekend adventures at our Maryland farm, but the thing that most defined Kirsten between high school and college was an international trip to Southeast Asia where she discovered that she felt most alive in uncomfortable places and situations that were most out of her comfort zone. That has served her well throughout her life and especially as an entrepreneur.
