Katy Mallory is co-founder and CEO of SlumberPod, a baby brand with more than $9M in annual revenues. She and her mother (Lou Childs) were inspired to invent SlumberPod and start the company in 2016 following a few sleepless nights on a family trip. SlumberPod is a quick assembly privacy pod that covers a playard, mini crib or toddler mattress — giving baby their own dark and private place to sleep while sharing a room with family. Katy has more than 15 years of experience in marketing and communications, working most recently at Cox Automotive.
