Genevieve's Bio:
Genevieve Piturro was a successful television marketing executive
until she dramatically changed the direction of her life.
She found her true purpose when a sudden voice inside her head
challenged her life as she knew it. In 2001, she founded the
hugely successful national non-profit, Pajama Program, when a
six-year-old girl’s question changed her life forever and she
jumped off the corporate ladder! This year, the Program celebrates
its 20th anniversary, having delivered more than 7 MILLION magical
gifts of new pajamas and new books to children through their 63
chapters across the U.S.
Genevieve is now a professional speaker and personal strategy
coach, sharing life and leadership lessons she learned through her
Pajama Program journey. Her first book, an Amazon best-seller,
Purpose, Passion, and Pajamas: How to Transform Your Life, Embrace
the Human Connection and Lead with Meaning, was released in August
2020. Her debut TEDx talk: “1 Idea + The Human Connection = 7
Million Pajamas and Books” also debuted in August 2020.
She has been interviewed on and in many local and national media
including most recently, Hallmark’s Home & Family show,
OPRAH, TODAY, GMA, The Early Show, CNN, Fox & Friends, O Magazine,
Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and Parenting Magazine. Genevieve
rang the Nasdaq Stock Market Opening Bell in 2016. She has
been the recipient of many local and national awards as she
inspires others to listen to their heart-voice in pursuing their
