Listen in to hear Bernadette Fiaschetti, host of One Life Radio, and Cherie Hoeger, CEO and co-founder of Saalt, discuss "Period Care Simplified." These two top-tier entrepreneurs and philanthropists share how they give back to their local communities and the world through both their business ventures and their nonprofits.
Cherie Hoeger is the Co-founder and CEO of Saalt, a women-owned B Corp that creates reusable and sustainable period care products designed to replace disposable pads and tampons. An entrepreneur and philanthropist, Cherie champions the intersection of for-profit and nonprofit models through social enterprise and leads Saalt’s social impact mission to end period poverty.
Since launching in 2018, Saalt has donated more than 160,000 period cups and underwear to women and girls in need across 60 countries through its social give-back program. Saalt was awarded Beauty Independent’s prestigious Philanthropy Champion award measuring social impact significance.
Access to period care keeps girls in school, breaking the cycle of poverty for generations. Saalt is fueled by the power educated women have to lift their families and invest back into their local economy, bringing change to entire communities.
Every consumer who chooses reusables saves thousands of single-use period products from our landfills and oceans. Saalt provides consumers with sustainable solutions to decrease waste through product design that is healthy for both body and planet, and by funding direct cleanup efforts.
Before founding Saalt, Cherie was an entrepreneur in multiple e-commerce ventures and worked as a technical writer with 15 years of publication experience, co-authoring nine editions of collegiate textbooks in fitness and wellness.
Cherie is also the mother of five daughters and one son, whom she considers her greatest success.
