Pandemic pickler and sports fanatic Karen Whitaker founded Dink.pro alongside her husband, John. After discovering their newly found love in pickleball, the duo launched their passion project to cater to the lack of sports apparel. Through their business, they are providing unique and fashion-forward sportswear for fellow players. John and Karen have been married since 1999 and are proud parents to two boys. Each has a lengthy professional career that sees them both in C-Level roles. Karen is a Chief Operations Officer for a start-up company focused on patient monitoring, while John is a Chief People Officer for the healthcare providers. The duo also hosts a podcast, “HR Hardball,” which is “sponsored” by Dink.pro.
