Hannah Cocca is a first-generation entrepreneur and designer whose expertise in creative innovation, consumer trends, and viral growth-hacking grew the Nugget furniture brand from a three-person team to a 100-employee company—generating more than $250 million in sales since 2017 and earning the title of America’s Fastest-Growing Manufacturing Company (Inc. Magazine, 2020, 2021).

In her work as Nugget’s chief product officer, she was responsible for collaborations that included Disney, Pixar, and Sesame Street. Her leadership in corporate impact and internal policies helped create “an equitable, conscientious company, one that may be the new face of North Carolina furniture manufacturing" (Indy Week, 2021).

Her work for Nugget has been covered in the Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, The Los Angeles Times, and BuzzFeed News. Before Nugget, Hannah served as an award-winning elementary classroom educator in Miami, Florida, and Durham, North Carolina.
