CareerIn 2011, Hunsicker launched Gwynnie Bee, a subscription model clothing service. She focused first on sizes 10–32 after discovering that 80% of American women fall into this size range, most of whom are severely underserved by traditional retailers.[5][6] Hunsicker utilized her experience with start-ups, algorithms, and other data-based methodologies to shape the company’s operations. Originally run out of her New York City apartment, Gwynnie Bee now operates from 5 offices in the USA and India and employs around 350 people.[7] The company offers more than 150 rental brands and has shipped over 3 million rental boxes as of August 2016.[8] In October 2016, Hunsicker starred on Lifetime’s Fashion Startup,[9] a spinoff of the successful reality TV series. Delving into the business side of the fashion industry, entrepreneurs pitched their startups to a panel of investors (including Hunsicker) for financial backing.[10] Media coverage of the show included an appearance by Hunsicker on The Today Show.[11] In January 2018, Gwynnie Bee refashioned its service to be size inclusive.[12] Prior to Gwynnie Bee, Hunsicker was COO of Drop.io and President and COO of Right Media, two tech start-ups that were bought by Facebook and Yahoo!, respectively, the latter for $850 million.[13] Hunsicker has discussed her perspectives on the fashion industry, size inclusiveness, underserved markets, and the future of retail on various programs including Fox Business.[14][15] Awards and honorsHunsicker has been honored with numerous achievements including Crain’s New York Business “40 Under 40”,[16] INC.’s “The Most Impressive Women Entrepreneurs of 2016”,[17] and Entrepreneur’s “25 Inspiring Entrepreneurs Under 40 Who Are Creating the Next Big Thing”.[18] She has been credited with “disrupting” and “changing the fashion game”,[19][20][21] “redesigning the plus-size clothing industry”,[22] and “personalizing the plus-size fashion experience”.[23] References1. ^Moore, Kristina, "Designer Spotlight: Gwynnie Bee Is The Netflix Of Plus-Size Fashion", "Forbes", June 12, 2014 https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesstylefile/2014/06/12/designer-spotlight-gwynnie-bee-is-the-netflix-of-plus-size-fashion/#211ba3351f98 2. ^Detweiler, Margit, "Why I Share My Closet With Hundreds of Women", "Huffington Post", March 21, 2014 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tuenight/why-i-share-my-closet-wit_b_5007462.html 3. ^"Rental service giving plus-sized clothing industry a makeover", "CBS News", January 20, 2016 http://www.cbsnews.com/news/gwynnie-bee-ceo-christine-hunsicker-plus-sized-clothing-rental/ 4. ^Hunsicker, Christine, “LinkedIn”, Retrieved 9/13/16 https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinehunsicker 5. ^Caminiti, Susan, “How one woman is going after a $17B opportunity,” “CNBC”, March 23, 2016 https://www.cnbc.com/2016/03/23/how-swapping-clothes-sparked-a-billion-dollar-biz-idea.html 6. ^Strugatz, Rachel “Gwynnie Bee Wants to do Plus-Size Online the Right Way”, “Women’s Wear Daily”, October 8, 2015https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0110/6032/files/7217-wwd.html?12334580003283101297 7. ^King, Leon, “How This Digital Entrepreneur Rocketed A Fashion Business From 4 To 350 Employees”, “Forbes”, February 27, 2016 https://www.forbes.com/sites/leoking/2016/02/27/gwynnie-bee-christine-hunsicker-women-in-tech/#789f7ce14298 8. ^Henry, Zöe, “Gwynnie Bee: This Fashion Startup Raised $100 Million Serving the Plus-Size Woman”, “INC.”, July/August 2016http://www.inc.com/magazine/201607/zoe-henry/christine-hunsicker-gwynnie-bee-plus-size-clothing.html 9. ^Medina, Marcy, “‘Project Runway: Fashion Startup’ to debut on Lifetime”, “LA Times”, September 8, 2016 http://www.latimes.com/fashion/la-ig-project-runway-20160908-snap-story.html 10. ^Novellino, Teresa, “Gwynnie Bee Founder is Living the ‘Project Runway: Fashion Startup’ Dream”, “Upstart Business Journal”, October 31, 2016 http://www.bizjournals.com/newyork/news/2016/10/31/gwynnie-bee-founder-project-runway-fashion-startup.html 11. ^“‘Project Runway: Fashion Startup’ Investors: Here’s How to Pitch Us”, “Today Show”, October 26, 2016http://www.today.com/video/-project-runway-fashion-startup-investors-here-s-how-to-pitch-us-793987651684 12. ^{{Cite news|url=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/gwynnie-bee-does-size-inclusivity-150000700.html|title=Gwynnie Bee Does Size Exclusivity Differently|last=|first=|date=January 24, 2018|work=Yahoo!
