Co-Founder and CEO of Goldin Hause, a fashion incubator and consultancy championing sustainability and ethical entrepreneurship. I’m a Junior at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business pursuing a B.S. in Global Business with a concentration in finance.Since coming to New York, I have had the opportunity to uncover and gain interest in the infrastructure that supports artists trying to emerge in the competitive fashion industry. With a partner from Houston, I co-founded Goldin Hause, a fashion incubator that capitalizes on economies of scale and brings together the resources needed to grow emerging talent in the fashion industry. We filed legal documents, designed a website and ecommerce infrastructure, and started networking in the industry to develop a pipeline of talent for our incubator and consultancy. While doing this, we discovered an arbitrage in sustainability progress in fashion, a space dominated by inefficient and dated supply chains.I consider myself driven, with a passion to innovate, and my experience at Fordham is no different. During my first year, as a member of Fordham’s Mock Trial team, I was part of one of only 48 teams in the country to qualify for the 2023 AMTA National Championship Tournament and in high school I was a highly decorated debate who competed at the national and state level. Finally, a hallmark program for Freshman at the Gabelli School of Business is the PVH Ground Floor Challenge. During the course of this semester-long project, my teammates and I successfully beat 230 teams for the business plan and pitch we created for Ellis Island, an educational social media app that provides a one stop shop for immigration.My dual commitment to operational excellence and sustainability leadership at Goldin Hause has helped provide the tools for emerging designers to break new ground in the fashion space currently dominated by fast fashion business models. With a forward-thinking approach and a relentless drive to enact change, I work towards a world where profitability and expansion harmonizes with eco-centric practices, fostering a future where business growth, environmental stewardship, and equal opportunity, mutually reinforce each other.You can contact me at bgoldin@fordham.edu.ben@goldinhause.com
