Welly is for everyone that was afraid to fall down, fail, get bumped, get scratched and did it anyway. Welly is for the wellness in all of us, however that looks, and for being prepared for whatever comes our way. We wear our bandages like badges of honor for a life fully lived.
Hatched in Minnesota
Ya sure, you betcha, Welly is hatched in Minnesota with partners around the world.
We’re a group of adventurists and neat freaks. Dreamers and doers. Dads, moms, and dog moms. Gen Z, Millennials and eh…older than millennials. Horseback riders, runners, first timers and old pros.
We banded together and took a giant leap to make a product for the bleeders, the believers, the give it a try-ers.
Eric Ryan
Co-Creator and Co-Founder
Single dad and avid windsurfer, Eric, has a reason for all 25 items to be in his medicine cabinet, kitchen drawers, pool bags, backpacks and more. “Kids must bleed more around dad, right? And no one ever bleeds slowly or calmly around here, and honestly, that includes me. Having exactly what I need, where I need it is clutch to navigating dad life.”
Anne Steeves
Director of Business Development
If there is a problem to solve at Welly, Anne is who you call. She is also the most active & adventurist of the crew. Yoga, horseback riding – she’s even tried acupuncture. “Since I sometimes have solo adventures, I need to make sure I’m Welly prepared every day. Me to the rescue!”
Baidah Abdul-Rasool
VP of Operations
The team’s lead Sherpa is in charge of getting product to you (and so much more). Working mom of kids across teenage years to toddlers, Baidah is always on the move. “I love being able to send my teenagers with a tin of supplies that keep them prepared. I want them to play and have fun, but I will always be there making sure they have their bumps and scrapes covered.”
Mike Dawson
Director of Supply Chain
This dog dad is about to be a first-time human dad this summer. When Dawson isn’t running products for Welly, he’s running point on setting up cribs, dressers and nesting for the little one. “The hammer and thumb interactions must be a rite of passage for a new dad. I’m just hoping she likes her room, because I’m not sure my fingers can take any more furniture assembly.”
Doug Stukenborg
CEO and Co-Founder
CEO and co-founder, Stuke, may be the busiest man in town. Basketball games with his kids, moving into a new house and oh yeah, launching a new company – he’s a man on the move. “I can’t pick my favorite Welly tins, it’s like choosing a favorite kid!” Doug means it. Keep an eye out for Doug walking down the street in a shirt made of our exploded plaid fabric bandage. The love is real.
Amanda Burke
Director of Social Media + Influencer Marketing
Dog mom, hiker, and world traveler is our California-cool social media expert. Amanda gets into the wild with Welly every week. “I have to pull favorites and say that the blister blaster is a real hike-saver when breaking in new shoes.” She’s also an advocate of Welly expanding into dog bandages next. Any takers?
Laura Conlon
V.P. of Marketing
Laura’s three little hecklers – aka, kids – are always pushing her to abilities on ice skates, skateboards, monkey bars and everything in between. Lucky for her, these tiny humans are quick to help with an ointment for this, or a bandage for that. “I’m the one looking like a walking Welly billboard by the end of each weekend.” She is our marketing person, so that’s ok, right?
Jason Genske
V.P. of Product Development
“Slap a Welly on and get back out there!” That’s Jason’s motto. Working out is a big part of staying sharp and focused. Crossfit training, weight lifting, and general wellness rule supreme for our head of product development. He’s tested the limits of water proof bandages and hero tape and is a big reason the quality can’t be beat.
Bleed responsibly
We’re on the path to giving back to the believers & the heroes who make our communities great.
