Kate Torgersen

Kate Torgersen is the founder and CEO of Milk Stork, the world's first breast milk shipping service for traveling professionals. After lugging 26 pounds of milk home from a business trip while nursing infant twins, she co-invested $25,000 with her father and built a logistics platform now serving 850+ companies, having shipped more than 7.5 million ounces of breast milk across 112 countries. A former 18-year Clif Bar communications executive with an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, Kate turned a deeply personal frustration into a category-defining company backed by Backstage Capital and named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list.
