SUSANNA TWAROG
Co-CEO, SOS Group Inc.
Susanna Twarog cofounded SOS to transform people's
perception of vending through design-first machines and
product curation. With market expansions expected this
year, Twarog is working with leaders across corporate
America to redefine how people access health and wellness
essentials on-the-go. Her inspiration is rooted in an
obsession over the lack of access and functional design
(especially for women) in places where we work, play and travel. It
started as a frustrating moment on a trading floor and has expanded to
something so much bigger. Twagog says she loves a challenge - and the
naysayers drive them to think even more ambitiously.
