• Kyle Bergman is the senior buyer for men’s grooming and lifestyle at Birchbox, a beauty subscription service.

• He also runs The Great Fantastic on the side — selling sweatpant overalls, or “swoveralls.”

• In the rest of his spare time, Bergman plays lacrosse for the Israeli national team, teaches a class at OrangeTheory Fitness, and attends a part-time MBA program at NYU.



Kyle Bergman’s always been a busy person.

He attributes that to his years as a student-athlete in college. He also credits his productive parents, who he said seemed to handle their packed schedules with ease.

“I was kind of already conditioned to juggle a lot,” he told Business Insider. “It’s really what gives me energy now. It’s really what gets me up in the morning and excited.”
