Fiona Simmonds

Co-Founder

Pinkie

Fiona Simmonds is the co-founder of Pinkie, the first period care brand to meet the needs of young girls throughout their menstruation journeys. Founded in 2022 by Fiona Simmonds and Sana Clegg, Pinkie offers the first non-toxic, perfectly-sized period pad on U.S. shelves, intentionally designed for tweens and teens. As mothers of young girls, Fiona and Sana discovered that every teen pad on the market was the same size as adult pads. Motivated to address the whitespace, the two strategically developed Pinkie’s pads with innovative sizing and high-quality, performance materials. Fiona is an alumna of Vanderbilt University and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. She has over 15 years of experience in finance and investment banking, completed the Wharton Executive MBA program, and has expertise in business operations and communications.
