Anwar White, 43, thought he’d have a long career in fashion, he says.
White started out working in strategic planning at Guess and then in client success at Sears. But after attending Columbia Business School to attain his MBA in 2010, White noticed a common theme when catching up with friends: They were succeeding in their work lives, “but their love life was in the toilet,” he says.
That sparked an idea.
White says he’s always effortlessly navigated the worlds of both men and women. “Most of my friends were girls growing up in school, and then I was a huge jock, specifically in basketball,” he says.
“I always helped boys talk to girls and girls talk to boys, even on the elementary school playground.”
