A Marriage Built on Movement - Meet the Naboso Co-Founders
What do you get when you combine two career entrepreneurs, a disruptive product and a dream to make an impact on society?
Naboso.
The relentless energy, drive and dreaming of the impossible defines the husband and wife duo behind Naboso Technology. Originally founded in 2017 by podiatrist Dr Emily Splichal, she eventually brought on seasoned sales and business strategist Michael Imperatore as Co-Founder and Director of Sales.
"Start-ups are hard. Start-ups that are scaling rapidly are even harder!" states Splichal. "One of the most important lessons I've learned over that past couple years is the value of a team. No one has all the skills to scale a company alone. What Michael brings to the table, especially as it relates to sales and relationship building, fills the voids in my skill-set."
Meet the Co-Founders 👋
