Loren Lewin is the Founder and CEO of Companion Candles, a Chicago-based pet-safe home fragrance brand she launched in 2021 after her rescue dog Mylo developed respiratory problems from conventional candles. Before founding Companion Candles, she held growth and marketing roles at GrubHub, HERE Technologies, and Starcom, and served as a Growth Coach & Mentor at Future Founders. A self-described animal welfare advocate, Loren built the brand from her kitchen to a high-six-figure business now carried in national retailers including Sprouts, Natural Grocers, and Chewy.
