Jodine Boothby
Gummee
https://gummee.lifeJodine is the founder of Gummee, a family-run business based in Cornwall, UK, and the inventor of the world’s first teething mitten, launched in 2012. What started as a simple idea to solve a real parenting problem has grown into a premium, globally recognised teething brand built on innovation, safety, and purpose.
Gummee now offers a range of thoughtfully designed products for teething babies, alongside specialist solutions for SEND children and adults — a natural evolution driven by Jodine’s belief that inclusive design should support everyone, not just the majority. With another world-first product launching in 2026, Gummee continues to challenge what’s possible in the baby and sensory products space.
A passionate advocate for women in business, Jodine is a strong believer in women supporting women. She speaks openly about the realities of entrepreneurship — from resilience and reinvention to backing yourself when no one else does — with the aim of empowering others to build meaningful businesses on their own terms.
