2013《財富》最具影響力的女創業家

賽瑞?戴維森 ? 公司:兒童用品公司BooginHead ? 年齡:39歲 2005年,戴維森發現自己總是得跟在一歲大的兒子杰克后面,收拾他隨處亂扔的兒童吸管杯。于是,她從塔吉特(Target)上買了一臺縫紉機,為兒童吸管杯設計出一個類似皮帶的奇妙裝置——SippiGrip。但她并沒有很快實現自己的創業夢想——她加入了微軟人力資源團隊,與X-Box部門合作。2007年,她在全國性貿易展上推出了SippiGrip。幸運的是,塔吉特邀請她參加2008年父母發明產品計劃。目前,戴維森的產品已經在沃爾瑪(Walmart)、嬰兒反斗城(Babies "R" Us)和亞馬遜等零售商開賣。(財富中文網) 譯者:劉進龍/汪皓?? |
Sari Davidson ? Company: BooginHead ? Age: 39 In 2005, Davidson found herself constantly picking up sippy cups her one-year-old son Jake would toss to the ground. She went to Target, bought a sewing machine, and created the SippiGrip, a leash-like contraption for a sippy cup. Her entrepreneurial dreams were slowed, however -- she was recruited by Microsoft to join the HR team working with its X-Box Group. But in 2007, she launched the SippiGrip at a national trade show. Fortuitously, Target approached her to join its 2008 Parent Invented Products Program and today, Davidson's BooginHead line is sold by retailers like Walmart, Babies "R" Us, and Amazon.com. |
