Kate Torgersen doesn't believe in work-life balance - she believes in work-life complexity.
As the Founder and CEO of Milk Stork, the first breast milk shipping company, she's helped thousands of parents achieve their goals, both personally and professionally. And she says if she hadn't been a mom - specifically, to twins - she would never have become an entrepreneur.
Kate had the idea for Milk Stork on her first business trip after giving birth to twins, when she was stopped at TSA and forced to dump out the ice for two gallons of breast milk. With three kids under 3 and a full-time job at Clif Bar, she started building Milk Stork at night, during her pumping sessions. Since 2015, the company has completed more than 82 thousand deliveries and shipped more than 5 million ounces of breast milk - including 21 gallons for athletes and other parents working at the 2021 Olympic Games.
