Team

Before Primary, Galyn spent many years building and marketing several brands for busy parents, from Baby Einstein to Diapers.com, and then she built Primary because all those brilliant babies in diapers need some clothes to wear.

In addition to launching and marketing nine successful e-commerce sites, Christina was one of the first employees at Diapers.com. Her then 2-year-old son appeared in one of their first ads in a diaper. This time around, he asked if he could please wear something respectable.

Eboni joins us after receiving her master’s in dance/movement therapy and traveling North America for the past three years on tour with a modern dance company. She loves dancing, eating and traveling the world and when she was just ten years old, she informed her parents that she would be moving to New York City. We are so happy she did!

Jodie comes to Primary with degrees in Psychology and Organizational Psychology, so her love for people runs deep! She discovered her passion for HR while selling knives for Cutco and then landed her first big gig at Diapers.com. When she isn't scheming up ways to make our employee experience top-notch, she loves cooking, watching cooking competition shows, and playing mean games of online Scrabble in between. 

Ryan has worked at big brands including American Eagle Outfitters HK, Armani Exchange, Giorgio Armani and Tom Tailor Gmbh before coming on board with us at Primary. He is passionate about apparel and building better compliance in the supply chain and has a strong belief in full transparency and product traceability. He and his wife have two wonderful children and have also adopted two more incredible kids into their family!

Amy's extensive background in the financial services industry eventually led her to Primary where she delights us with financial advice as well as tales of growing up on an 18 acre farm or her world travels to Australia, New Zealand and Cook Islands. If we're being really good, she'll tell us the story of getting engaged on top of a glacier. We love that one.

Lori brings design experience from Gymboree, American Eagle, and Armani Exchange (among others!) to Primary. She enjoys pottery and sewing, is happiest when hiking, and hopes to design and build her own house someday. 

Ally has worked for brands including Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie, and VS Pink, but her favorite time to utilize her design skills is during craft time with her two kids (and favorite artists!), Jackson and June.

Danielle brings a degree from Hofstra University and experience at brands including Lou & Grey, Armani Exchange, and Aeropostale to Primary's product team.

A graduate of Brandeis University, Jen taught English in Japan before moving to NYC to work a series of marketing jobs, including at Diapers.com.
