Pair started after one of their founders, Nathan Kondamuri, had enough with expensive, boring eyewear. One of their standout features is their “top” frames, which magnetically click into place, allowing wearers to swap colors, patterns, and more whenever they want. Rich joined Pair as just their 15th employee, and has been leading the transition away from overseas production as they grow the team to over 100 people. Prior to his time with Pair, Rich managed distribution for the sustainable bottle company, S’well.
