When women collaborate, magic happens — and the latest power move in the food and business world proves just that.
Slutty Vegan, the wildly popular plant-based burger empire founded by the ever-bold and visionary Pinky Cole, has just welcomed a new chapter of leadership. In a headline-making move, Cole has appointed Lauren Maillian, marketing maven and serial entrepreneur, as the new President of Slutty Vegan.
This is more than a business decision — it’s a culture-shifting moment.
Lauren Maillian isn’t new to breaking barriers. As the first Black woman to launch a venture capital firm in the U.S., she’s been blazing trails in entrepreneurship and innovation for over a decade. Her appointment sends a strong message: Slutty Vegan isn’t just a food brand — it’s a movement, and it’s scaling with excellence.
Under Pinky Cole’s fearless leadership, Slutty Vegan transformed from a late-night craving solution into a nationally recognized brand, known for its bold flavors, unapologetic branding, and community-first mindset. Now, with Maillian at the helm of day-to-day operations, the brand is poised for explosive growth — not just in food, but in cultural impact.
“This isn’t just about burgers,” Cole said in a recent interview. It’s about building an empire that centers Black excellence, women in power, and generational wealth. Lauren brings vision, leadership, and a legacy of strategic brilliance.”
Maillian echoed that sentiment, stating she’s committed to honoring the Slutty Vegan legacy while scaling it into a global lifestyle brand. With her at the operational forefront, fans can expect fresh innovation, deeper community engagement, and an even stronger spotlight on Black-owned excellence.
For the Pretty Hustlaz out there building their empires brick by brick — this moment is a reminder: collaboration over competition always wins. When women uplift each other, industries shift.
Congratulations to Pinky and Lauren — two queens rewriting the rules and showing the world what it looks like when Black women lead unapologetically.
