Summary

Samantha Rudolph is the co-founder and CEO of Babyation, a company that creates products for women that want to parent on their terms, beginning with an innovative breast pump that is quiet, discreet and smart. Prior to Babyation, Sam spent nine years as a serial entrepreneur within ESPN, where she launched a variety of products, departments and technologies. She helped shape the company’s social media presence and strategy in the early days of Facebook and Twitter, oversaw the business development team responsible for evaluating new technologies and much more. We talk about the importance of having that kind of experience, especially for those who want to start their own brands, and how she leveraged her expertise to build and grow Babyation. We also discuss the process of building an industry-changing medical device, balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, having the right partner at home and much more.
