Kate Torgersen

Founder and CEO, Milk Stork ®

Los Angeles

KATE TORGERSEN is the founder and CEO of Milk Stork®, the first-ever breast milk shipping company. Since launching in 2015, Milk Stork’s award-winning services have supported breastfeeding, traveling moms at more than 700 companies, and Milk Stork has delivered more than 3,200,000 ounces of breast milk - helping traveling moms maintain their commitment to breastfeeding.

Kate founded Milk Stork out of a personal need while working as a senior executive communications manager at Clif Bar & Company. Within a few days, Milk Stork landed its first enterprise partner, one of the world’s largest consulting firms. Since then Milk Stork has become an essential benefit for progressive, family-friendly companies supporting more than 700 employers, including Pinterest, Viacom, Unilever, Activision Blizzard, Nissan, Home Depot, Hilton, and many others.

An advocate for working mothers, Kate has made it her mission to normalize pumping and motherhood in the workplace. When she isn’t brainstorming innovative solutions to make breastfeeding logistics easier, Kate is busy shuttling her three kids to their various sports practices, tackling her favorite Peloton ride, or trying desperately to get eight uninterrupted hours of sleep.
