Dara Erck
Dara Erck (she/her) is the Founder & CEO of SAM+LEO and the mom of two teen boys. She spent much of her career as a consultant to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Global Health R&D Advocacy.
While shopping for toiletries for her son for sleep away camp, founder Dara Erck realized that there was a huge gap in the market. She spent a couple of years sitting with the idea and asking friends if they had a similar experience. When the answers were all a resounding “YES,” she decided to further explore the idea bringing SAM + LEO to where it is today.
Her individual core values are:
Inclusivity, positivity, education, sustainability, kindness, and individuality.
