Our take

Harry’s Inc shot to fame in the years after its 2012 launch for developing and selling high quality, affordable men’s shaving and grooming products online. Between then and now, the company has grown tremendously, expanding into major retail stores, and launching three more brands: Women’s shaving products company Flamingo, hair care-focused Headquarters, as well as cat food brand Cat Person.

Though a billion dollar sale to consumer brand corporation Edgewell was surprisingly blocked by the Federal Trade Commission in 2020, Harry’s product and brand diversification actually led to a significant boost in sales.

The blocked sale of the company, while a shock at the time, has proven to be a blessing in disguise. Harry’s has gone on to raise hundreds of millions of dollars, which it has used to expand its portfolio of brands – all in keeping with its aim of becoming a major multi-category consumer packaged goods (CPG) company.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Harry's Inc.

We’re cultivating: a workplace where our employees feel valued, safe and empowered to show up as their best selves; leaders who can build teams that are home to a variety of perspectives and experiences; and a family of brands led by our values and our differences to authentically serve our community
Launched in 2018, our Employee Resource Groups, or "ERGs," are internal, employee-led networks dedicated to building community, promoting allyship, influencing the business, and fostering an inclusive working environment. While the ERGs are centered around specific identity characteristics - e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, etc. - they are truly for everyone, whether you identify with that group or are a committed ally
Our D&I Council is made up of a dozen Harry’s employees across all levels and teams, including one of our co-CEOs, to help guide our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy and ensure it remains a priority. The Council meets twice a month to provide input and influence initiatives across the business
