Meet the Speaker: Katie Roering is the Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Fontana Candle Company

Katie Roering is the Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Fontana Candle Company, a Lancaster-based manufacturer on a mission to bring clean, transparent products into everyday homes. What began as a small, at-home hobby with her husband has grown into one of the fastest-growing companies in the country, earning a place on the Inc. 5000 list.

At Fontana, Katie leads brand strategy, product development, and marketing, helping build a company known for its commitment to ingredient transparency and MADE SAFE® certified products. She is deeply passionate about wellness and believes that businesses have a responsibility to create products that are both effective and safe for families.
