Nara Organics
When Esther Hallam couldn’t find a clean, organic formula option for her own daughter, she didn't just settle for what was on the shelf; she used her decades of product management expertise to build a better one. With a career spanning giants like Google, Gilt, and Travelocity, Esther applied the same rigorous problem-solving approach to the nursery. Today, as the Founder and CEO of Nara Organics, she is setting a new global benchmark for what we feed our children.
Nara Organics is a pioneering brand featuring the first-of-its-kind USDA-certified organic whole milk formula. By ditching the standard fillers like palm oil, soy, and corn syrup in favor of whole milk fats and naturally occurring MFGM for brain development, Esther is providing parents with a Clean Label certified alternative that actually mimics nature. In this episode, we discuss her journey from Y Combinator to the forefront of the infant nutrition revolution and how she’s supporting over 1 million parents through the Nara Baby ecosystem.
