Co-founder and Executive Chair, Figs Inc.

Hasson co-founded Figs with Trina Spear in 2013. Hasson’s responsibilities include product development and marketing, while Spear’s focus is on operations. Hasson received a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After graduation she moved to Italy to run a high-end handbag company for seven years. She got the idea for Figs after altering traditional scrubs for a nurse friend and named it after her favorite fruit. She and Spears made their first sales from their car parked in front of hospitals during shift changes, and later at medical conferences. Hasson served as Figs’ co-chief executive officer until August.
