Lindsay McCormick of Bite Toothpaste Bits joins the 11th annual list of women and men from such companies as Netflix, Google, and Patagonia
MARINA DEL REY, Calif., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fast Company announced its 11th annual list of the Most Creative People in Business, honoring Bite Toothpaste Bits CEO and Founder, Lindsay McCormick among an influential and diverse group of leaders from a vast range of global industries.
The Most Creative People in Business list recognizes individuals who used their innovative thinking to make an impact on the world beyond financial success. These engineers, executives, choreographers, activists, designers, journalists, and founders have created something new this year within their field that's never been done before in their industries. Many achieved these societal problem-solving accomplishments in one of the most contentious and erratic times in history.
"I'm honored to be included in such an inspiring group of people, all working to create meaningful and impactful change in our world," said McCormick. "There has never been a more important time for us to come together to find new and innovative solutions to our environmental problems. I never set out to create a business, but the success of what we've grown at Bite has give me the power to share my story and the urgency to save our planet. We've only just begun..." said McCormick.
As Bite's CEO and Founder, Lindsay McCormick started Bite in her living room after learning about the one billion plastic toothpaste tubes that end up in our landfills and oceans every year. Once a social media video went viral, sales skyrocketed overnight and McCormick quit her full-time job to launch Bite into a multimillion company. McCormick's love of the planet, urgency to make a difference, and personal mission to create sustainable solutions to products we use every day has now become Bite's mission.
Since Bite's inception in 2018, the company has become a trailblazer in the sustainability and personal care space with its innovative and plastic-free products made with the planet in mind. From creating the first-ever toothpaste tablet with nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAP) to Bite's recent launch of 100% compostable and plant-based dental floss, McCormick's team is working to make conscious consumerism an unconscious decision.
Fast Company editors and writers spent a year researching candidates for the list, scouting every business sector: social good, medical, technology, engineering, marketing, entertainment, startups, and more. The people selected have all accomplished something truly innovative within the past 12 months or so that is having a measurable effect within their industries and beyond. They're also discoveries—none has ever been profiled in Fast Company in print before. Together, they represent the future of business.
"Each year, we recognize artists and conventionally creative people making their mark on business and corporate executives deploying creativity and innovation to address some of the biggest challenges facing businesses and society," says Stephanie Mehta, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. "Individually and collectively, the Most Creative People are an inspiration."
