His extensive background will be invaluable as we continue to scale. We are also excited about the impact Devon will have in her new role. She has been instrumental in supporting our growth during her seven years at FIGS, including during her most recent role as FIGS’ COO. Her strategic thinking, operational experience and deep understanding of FIGS make her the ideal fit to lead the growth of our International and TEAMS businesses.”

“I am delighted to be joining FIGS at such an exciting time in the Company’s growth trajectory,” said Mr. Berube. “As a healthcare industry pioneer, FIGS is a powerful brand that brings excellence to product innovation and customer engagement, and I look forward to supporting the team in their continued growth.
