How does an adrenaline-loving thrillseeker who loves fast cars, race tracks, and skydiving become the co-founder of a custom pillow company? Meet Susana Saeliu, CEO of Pluto, whose story is exactly that. After experiencing severe neck pain that impaired her ability to race cars, Susana discovered that her pillow wasn't helping situation--and what made it worse? Finding a new, suitable pillow was a challenging shopping experience. Cue Pluto, a company focused on developing solutions that elevate your comfort and sleep space.
Pluto Pillow is the first and only sleep pillow that's custom-built to your body stats, how you sleep, and what you like. The Pluto team leverages data through a proprietary process to help all sleepers take the guesswork out of pillow shopping and to ultimately maximize their sleep.

- Why pillows are an extremely underrated and overlooked product for improving and enhancing sleep
- How a unique survey of sleep-related questions has changed the pillow shopping game
- Building multiple start-ups -- the secret, says Susana, is really a matter of just getting started
- Why Susana sees driving almost as a form of meditation
- How to own your diverse skillset as a millennial
- The difference between culture and fit within a company
- How to best serve your employees
