Bridgette Taylor is the Founder and CEO of Harridan Vodka. A whiskey and mezcal enthusiast, Bridgette sought to buck vodka's reputation as "neutral and flavorless", and instead create a spirit that captured the sweet and smoky tasting notes so celebrated in other categories. Since launching in 2020, Harridan has garnered accolades including "Best Vodka" honors from Rolling Stone, Robb Report, and Esquire, while also broadening the industry’s perception of both vodka and women-owned spirits.Before founding Harridan, Bridgette spent nearly a decade in the fashion, retail, and luxury goods industries, holding roles at Valentino and Stuart Weitzman. She began her career in equity research at Barclays and Goldman Sachs. Bridgette holds an MBA from Harvard Business School (graduated with distinction) and a BA from Dartmouth College (magna cum laude).
