Danielle Mastrangel Brown

Chief People + Impact Officer

2023

At Mammoth Brands (formerly Harry's Inc), our mission is to “Create Things People Like More.” Simply put: everything we do should be better than what already exists. If it’s not, we don’t do it. This guides everything we do, from developing the best product experiences, to making Mammoth Brands a great place to work, to exploring innovative ways to give back to our community. 12 years into our company journey, we are so much more than the shaving company we began as. We’re now a portfolio of brands: Harry's, Flamingo, Lume, and Mando. We’re a team of over 1,000 people, and we’re the largest CPG company built in the last 20 years. The key to our success? Our amazing people. From chemists, mechanical engineers, CX associates, to creative directors, sourcing managers, and logistics specialists, the Harry’s team is composed of some of the most brilliant, diverse, and humble people you’ll ever meet. Our brands answer unmet consumer needs, but our company is a place of inclusion and innovation that attracts some of the brightest minds across industries, geographies, and backgrounds. Whether we have a team of 5 or 500, our core values and our startup mentality remain; we value continuous improvement and learning, teamwork and collaboration, creative problem solving, and open and direct dialogue and feedback. I lead our People, Communications, Workplace and Social Impact teams globally across Harry's Inc. Our People + Impact team is responsible for designing and delivering world-class Talent acquisition, Talent development, People Operations, Total Rewards and DEI processes and programs; supporting our business through our People Business Partner team; creating amazing workplaces and spaces; and making impact through our 1% Impact program and High-Five volunteer initiatives. Our Corporate Communications team leads corporate PR, messaging and communications/events strategy for Harry's Inc. as well as supporting internal communications across the company.
