Anushka Salinas is the CEO of the parenting tech company Nanit. Salinas began her career as an assistant buyer at Lord & Taylor, discovering her love for fashion and business data. She then pursued her MBA and serendipitously met the founders of the groundbreaking clothing rental company Rent the Runway when it was still just an idea. She began working for the company as an unpaid intern during business school, and then, upon graduation, left a secure job offer behind to continue growing the business, eventually becoming Rent the Runway’s VP of merchandising. She went on to apply her e-commerce expertise to Hudson’s Bay and a start-up called Resonance before returning to Rent the Runway to run its subscription business, and then ultimately become its president. Then, in 2024, Salinas pivoted again to lead yet another groundbreaking company, this time in the parenting space. Salinas joined Nanit, a technology company revolutionizing baby monitors with AI insights, offering a data-driven approach to modern parenting. Under her leadership, Nanit continues to innovate and expand, becoming an essential tool for families navigating the joys and challenges of raising children.
