Malka Barkhordari was a fan of sandal and lifestyle brand Havaianas long before she became the company’s first general counsel a year ago.
“I actually worked retail during college and sold Havaianas, ... and I’ve been a loyal fan ever since,” she said. “The company was based out of New York up until 2018, so when they moved here and this position became available, it was almost like too good to be true.”
