Embark on a journey of fresh perspectives guided by the inspiring vision of changemaker and globetrotter, Brianna Kilcullen, founder of Anact. With a professional background deeply rooted in environmental sustainability, Brianna shares her transformative journey that led her to establish an exceptional, eco-conscious towel company.
Sustainability, Towels, and Global Impact
Few are aware that the textile industry ranks among the most environmentally detrimental sectors worldwide. Anact's mission? To revolutionize the global $5.4 billion textile industry—one towel at a time. Their towels are not only more durable, absorbent and odor-resistant, but are also designed to benefit all people and the planet. Clearly, the Anact founder seeks to create a positive impact for both society and business. This commitment is foundational to Brianna’s core beliefs, further enriched by her education in International Business at George Washington University, where she focused on human rights.

Brianna is among the first ever full-time sustainability employees and played a role in legalizing hemp in Florida. She has traveled to over 40+ countries and has worked in factories on almost every continent. The avid traveler holds dual citizenship in Ireland and the United States.
