About Healthy Baby

Healthy Baby is a pioneering platform for maternal health and babycare for today's families. Their suite of babycare essentials includes the first EWG Verified Safe diapers, diaper pants, microbiome friendly skincare and a comprehensive prenatal vitamin regimen designed in partnership with the Neurological Health Foundation. The certified B corporation is dedicated to putting health first while proactively supporting parents to make the most of their child's developmental years.

The brand’s suite of babycare essentials includes the first EWG Verified Safe and the first

certified microbiome friendly Diapers, diaper pants, microbiome friendly skin care, and a

comprehensive prenatal vitamin regimen designed in partnership with the Neurological Health

Foundation. Healthy Baby’s diapers are made without over 3900+ chemicals and materials

linked to health harm commonly used in diaper manufacturing. Parents can have full peace of

mind knowing the products they receive are not only the safest choice for their baby but also for

the environment.

Healthy Baby is founded by celebrated entrepreneur Shazi Visram. Shazi has been a

torchbearer for maternal and infant health since 2003, when she launched her first company,

Happy Baby, from her kitchen. Happy Baby became the leading organic baby food brand in the

U.S and was acquired by Danone in 2013.

Healthy Baby is the evolution of Shazi’s mission to protect and enrich the full potential of every

child. Parents can subscribe to diapers and bundle essentials online or find them at Target or

Amazon.

The Chief Operating Officer (COO) will be a strategic partner and the operational backbone of

Healthy Baby — responsible for building and scaling a top-notch operations platform that

delivers uncompromising product quality, reliability, and efficiency in service of our mission: to

give every baby the healthiest possible start.

This role owns end-to-end operations, including supply and demand planning, inventory

management, manufacturing partnerships, sourcing, quality, and operational readiness within

our baby and maternal health categories. The COO will bring deep operational expertise and

hands-on understanding of manufacturing processes, materials, and trade-offs — paired with a

strong appreciation for how operational decisions directly impact product performance, brand

trust, and consumer outcomes. This leader will also be open to leveraging emerging

technologies, including AI-enabled tools, to improve forecasting accuracy, operational efficiency,

quality oversight, and speed to market.

The ideal candidate is a true operator: someone who understands how products are actually

made, how supply chains really work, and how to collaborate deeply with Product Development

and Marketing to ensure that Healthy Baby’s products are not only scalable and profitable, but

exceptional in quality, safety, and integrity. This is a hands-on executive role in a growing

company: the COO must balance strategic foresight with tactical execution, operating in the

details while shaping long-term growth.
