Joey Shamie is the Co-President of Delta Children, one of the world’s leading children’s furniture brands. What started as a small Brooklyn shop has grown into a global, family-owned company, supplying major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon with best-in-class cribs, strollers, and children’s furniture.

Delta’s story is one of resilience—when a massive industry recall threatened to destroy the company, they didn’t just survive; they became the #1 baby furniture brand in the world.

Beyond business, Joey and his family have made giving back a core mission, donating thousands of products to military families, disaster relief efforts, and community initiatives. Joey has a board seat on many organizations, and splits his volunteering time between the Sephardic Community Center, AIPAC, TeachNYS, his synagogue, First Candle, Kids in Distressed Situations, UJA, working on new initiatives with local elected officials, donating thousands of cribs to our men and women in the US Army, and so much more.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The recall that almost killed the company—and how Delta turned it into their biggest opportunity.
  • How Joey and his family built a global brand from a small Brooklyn shop.
  • The power of giving back and why philanthropy has been a game-changer for Delta’s success.

Enjoy!
