Eunice Byun

Eunice Byun is the co-founder and CEO of Material, the New York-based direct-to-consumer kitchenware brand she launched in 2018 with Dave Nguyen. A Goldman Sachs alum who spent a decade in finance and beauty before leaving a VP role at Revlon, she grew up in her family's Korean restaurant in San Diego and built Material around the belief that the everyday kitchen deserves fewer, better, more beautiful tools. Under her leadership Material has grown through word-of-mouth loyalty, landed in Nordstrom nationwide, and donated nearly $200,000 to community food causes through its Kinder Kitchens campaign.
