Mena Trott

Mena Grabowski Trott (born Mena Grabowski on September 16, 1977 (1977-09-16) (age 34) is a co-founder of Six Apart, creator of Movable Type and TypePad. The company name originates from the fact that Trott and co-founder/husband Benjamin Trott were born six days apart.

Trott was president of Six Apart. She remains on the Board of Directors after the merger which resulted in the formation of Say Media^[1]. She helps lead management and business efforts, and endeavors to make the company's products aesthetically pleasing and functionally intuitive. She made her first efforts in weblogging at dollarshort.org in 2001.

Movable Type was originally developed by Mena Trott and Benjamin Trott during a period of unemployment in late 2001 for Mena's personal blogging use.

Trott was named one of the People of the Year by PC Magazine in 2004.^[2] That same year, she was named a member of the TR100 by MIT Technology Review magazine, as one of the top 100 innovators in the world under the age of 35.^[3]
