The Care Gap

Blessing Adesiyan and Andrea Mullan are joined on this episode by Miriam Williams and Tara Henning, Co-Founders Of Superkin. They talk with Blessing and Andrea about the great work that they both do at Superkin. They expand on how they started out, What inspired the birth of Superkin and how Superkin is helping companies attract and retain the most dynamic talent in today's workplace - Parents Miriam built a career in New York retail leading operations and strategy for global brands like Coach, Louis Vuitton and J.Crew. For 11 years she worked with three awesome women that shaped her view of leadership... and inspired her to build a workplace that worked for everyone. While earning her MBA from The Wharton School, Miriam caught the startup bug and later left NY for San Francisco and Narvar. As a new mom, she spent 2 years running logistics partnerships and advocating for better lactation support in the office and for traveling employees.

Tara spent the first part of her career in New York and San Francisco, working at world-class brands like Louis Vuitton and Walmart, where she thrived in the art and science of retail. She joined Narvar, a SaaS technology platform, as its #4 employee where she saw the company scale globally in just under 5 years. Tara wrote the maternity leave policy as the first employee to have a baby at the company. It was this experience that really planted the seed of becoming an advocate for working parents. She co-led the Women at Narvar ERG and Life @ team, to further develop programming and culture at Narvar. She is energized by the power of connection — whether it’s brands, people or aligned missions. When working with a high-growth start-up or a large conglomerate, Tara brings an innovative thought process to projects and partnerships. She understands the complexities of teams, fast growing, best in class brands and that hiring the best people means nothing without culture.
