Ovadia Labaton

I'm the dude in khakis on the ground. My co-founder Zack is the one giving me a wedgie. As you can see, I'm always ready to take one for the team.

In a former life, I was the VP of Strategy at Kidbox. I've also consulted for many DTC startups over the years. I handle a lot of the unsexy stuff at The Perfect Jean, strategy, logistics, finances, ad spend. I am the cog in the wheel.

Some say I look like a young Woody Allen.
