Mindee Doney
Inventor of Boogie Wipes® & Saline Soothers® patented saline nose wipes
Co-Founder of Little Busy Bodies, Inc.
www.boogiewipes.com
Tired of chasing her kids runny noses, Mindee herself ran with an idea she had for a nose wipe that would make her kids actually want to blow their nose. In 2007, she partnered with Julie Pickens and grew her concept for a sweet smelling, saline-infused wet wipe, into a $10 million company. Mindee’s creativity, passion and imagination pushed the company through taking on an investor, hiring employees, new product development and managing media, retailers and manufacturers. She experienced first-hand the difficulty of remaining inventive and inspired inside a small company where systems must be constantly streamlined for profitability. View Full Bio >
