In our second episode, Paul talks with Danai Pointer ’07. She founded Bergen Consulting Group in 2018, an all-women’s strategic consulting business. She’s also the founder of TruNude, a women’s undergarment company that makes bras and underwear in a variety of skin tones. Recently she was named the communications outreach director for the Democratic National Committee. At Trinity, Danai majored in music with a focus on ethnomusicology, and minored in community action. And while many Trinity students have study abroad experiences, Danai’s undergraduate global research experiences took her from the Czech Republic, to Brazil, South Africa, and France (all in one year!).
Listen in as Danai walks us through how she built a startup that meets a deeply personal need for her customers, drawing on earlier experience as a data-driven communicator and champion for cultural institutions in her positions at New York City firms, part of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s administration, and at Bloomberg Associates.
