Dr.TarynRose

ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON, CELEBRITY SHOE DESIGNER

Dr Taryn Rose is an orthopedic surgeon who became a shoe designer in order to give women shoes that felt good as well as looked good. Her vision for comfort meets fashion was disruptive in 1998 when she created the salon comfort niche in the shoe industry The Taryn Rose brand was carried in major US department stores like Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Macy's, Lord & Taylor and hundreds more independent boutiques. Her brand grew through word of mouth and the extensive press coverage from Oprah, Today, GMA, CNN, NY Times, People, Elle, and many others Dr Rose grew her business to $40 million before selling to private equity just before the Great Recession of 2008.

Currently Dr Rose is launching a new brand of footwear and technology with her partner, Enrico Cuini Their patented technology ALIA provides a dynamic "smart" support for all shoes but is so lightweight and low profile it can be used even in stilettos. Dr. Rose believes this technology along with their technology platform to measure feet with an app to make custom shoes at scale will disrupt the footwear market

Dr. Rose has a keen sense of what women need and credits her success to being an outsider in the industry but being able to get inside the customer's head and of course walk in her shoes Her current obsession is how to give women the best of both worlds: the convenience of e-commerce and the high touch service of brick and mortar. Convenience, Creativity, Community are the 3 C's of her ideal retail experience

Dr Rose is a single mother of 3 children and is engaged to her partner Enrico Cuini She is an avid yogi, skier, traveler and is planning to wear high heels
