| (Alpharetta,GA) – Saturday, January 01, 2005 Kids II President and CEO Ryan Gunnigle believes innovation in baby products comes from understanding the gap between moms' needs and what's in the marketplace. As a father of two, Gunnigle knows the mommy "pain points", but more importantly, understands the value of enjoying the everyday fun of parenting.
Innovating fun for parent and child is his mission at Kids II, which he joined in 1989 as Associate Product Manager.
President since 1998 and named President and CEO in 2005, Gunnigle introduced the company to global expansion, successful licensing partnerships including The William Carter Company, Baby Einstein™ and Winnie The Pooh, and gained a ranking as one of Atlanta's Top 100 Private Companies. Gunnigle's next innovation will support the reintroduction of Bright Starts, the company's flagship brand.
A graduate of Emory University, Gunnigle lives in Atlanta with his wife Lisa and his two children: Thomas, age 4 and Margaret Ann "Maggie", age 2.
For grown-up fun, Gunnigle enjoys sporting events, family activities, running and staying fit, music, reading and travel.
