Isabel Kallman
Isabel Kallman is an Entrepreneur in Residence at F212 and CEO of Alphamom.
Isabel launched Alphamom.com in 2006 with the desire to create the most influential parenting site in the world. Since then, she has been called “the Martha Stewart of parenting,” and the term “Alpha Mom” has become a category generic for the ultimate influencer.
Prior to founding Alphamom, Isabel served as a top-level institutional equity salesperson to major US mutual funds, advising their portfolio managers on European equity investments for Salomon Smith Barney. Isabel received her BA from Columbia University in 1993. Upon her graduation, she was recruited into the investment banking division of Salomon Brothers where she performed financial analyses of Latin American companies, conducted due diligence and prepared offering circulars for their fund-raising efforts.
During her 10 years on Wall Street, she also worked on dozens of IPOs and equity offerings for leading blue-chip companies in Latin America and Europe. Isabel retired from a Senior Vice-President-level position in 2003 to raise her infant son, Ryland who is now 5-years old. In the course of researching every imaginable topic on mommyhood, she was inspired to launch Alphamom.
