Carly Zakin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/carly-zakin-69942aa/) and Danielle Weisberg (https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-weisberg-3192538/) are co-founders and co-CEOs of theSkimm (https://www.theskimm.com/), a mission-driven media company empowering millennial women with the resources and confidence to maneuver through life’s necessities – from their finances, health, and career to how they vote.
The two former NBC news producers met while studying abroad in Rome. Unbeknownst to them, what began as a product launch from their Manhattan couch has since become a media empire harnessing the power of this generation of women. Carly and Danielle developed a product that delivers digestible, conversational information - from politics and breaking news to pop culture - to help Skimm’rs feel more informed about the world around them. Since theSkimm’s inception in 2012, Carly and Danielle have expanded the company’s product suite to include three top-rated podcasts (Skimm This, 9 to 5ish, and Pop Cultured), theSkimm app, Skimm Money and Skimm Your Life newsletters, and Skimm Studios. theSkimm’s first book, How to Skimm Your Life, was released in June 2019 and debuted at #1 on The New York Times Best Seller list.
