Nadya Okamoto

Nadya Okamoto is a Gen Z entrepreneur and marketer best known for building culturally resonant brands through community-driven, social-first strategies. She co-founded August, a period care and lifestyle brand, where she served as CMO and became one of the most prominent examples of a founder using TikTok as a primary growth channel — amassing hundreds of thousands of followers and turning personal storytelling into a brand-building playbook studied across the marketing industry. Her work at August demonstrated that radical transparency and community engagement could compete with legacy consumer packaged goods brands. Before her marketing career, Okamoto founded PERIOD, a nonprofit organization dedicated to menstrual equity, while she was a teenager — an effort that grew into one of the largest youth-run nonprofits in the United States and established her as a prominent public advocate. She is also the author of 'Period Power,' a book on menstrual health and activism. Okamoto has now joined Pie as Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer, a role announced by Pie founder Andy Dunn in July 2026. Pie is a social and community platform, and Okamoto's appointment signals the company's intent to lead with a strong, personality-driven brand voice aimed at younger audiences.
