Bridgette Taylor

Founder and CEO, Harridan Vodka

Bridgette is the CEO and co-founder of Harridan Vodka. A whiskey and mezcal drinker, she founded Harridan in 2020 – seeking to create a vodka that captured the natural sweet and smokey flavors she so appreciated in other categories. Since Harridan’s founding, Bridgette has looked to broaden the industry’s perception of vodka, as well as woman-owned spirits more broadly.

Prior to Harridan, Bridgette spent nearly a decade of experience in the fashion, retail and luxury goods industries, including luxury brands Valentino and Stuart Weitzman. She began her career in equity research roles at Barclays and Goldman Sachs. A former bakery and hospitality entrepreneur, Bridgette holds an MBA from Harvard Business School (graduate with distinction), and a BA from Dartmouth College (magna cum laude).
