Wombi Rose

CEO Lovepop

Wombi Rose is co-founder and CEO of Lovepop.

Wombi studied naval architecture and marine engineering at Webb Institute, where he met his future business partner and best friend John Wise. Wombi received a Masters degree from MIT, and joined McKinsey & Company before heading to Harvard Business School with Wise. On a business school trip to Vietnam, they discovered incredible hand-crafted paper cards and were inspired. They combined that ancient art form with the sliceform structure used in ship design to develop Slicegami™, and Lovepop was born.  

Lovepop is reinventing the social expressions industry with an imagination meets engineering approach to design. Lovepop earned an investment from Kevin O’Leary on ABC’s Shark Tank in 2015, won Inc. Magazine’s Design Awards for Category Reinvention in 2017, has been featured on Good Morning America, 20/20, The View, and created one-of-a-kind pop-up art to reveal the winners at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards.

With Lovepop, Wombi is on a mission to create one billion magical moments across the globe. Most recently, we launched Lovepop Weddings, a fully customizable experience that allows couples to create handcrafted, 3D invitation suites that reflect their unique love story.
