Neil Parikh is the Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Casper, the world's first sleep brand that dominates global e-commerce in addition to having 20 Sleep Shops across North America and selling at retailers such as Target and Hudson's Bay. Casper has sold mattresses to over a million consumers, with sales topping $400 million in 2018. This year, Casper officially joined the unicorn club, with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. As the son of a sleep doctor, Neil has been perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between the science of sleep and the realities of the sleep industry. He was accepted to medical school at 17, worked on robotics at NASA (where he co-authored 3 patents), and in 2014 launched Casper.
