Sarah Hardens exceptional leadership and unwavering support laid the foundation for Hello Sunshines success,said Witherspoon in a statement. From our initial meeting, when we discussed our shared values and our passion for storytelling to reach women globally, Sarahs mentorship and friendship have been invaluable to me. I am so proud of the bold, innovative company we built together with the most talented team. Her belief in my vision made my wildest dreams for this company a reality. As we embark on this new chapter, I am excited for Hello Sunshines future and eager to carry the company forward with the same spirit under the leadership of Maureen, Lauren, and our executive team.
