Emmy-nominated actress, podcast network owner, content creator, host, and Millenial Disney icon Christy Carlson Romano has made an undeniable name for herself through her various entertainment projects and activism championing high-performing youth. Most recently, Christy, alongside husband and CEO Brendan Rooney, successfully launched the PodCo network. Through her recent venture and career overall, Christy continues to leave a positive and long-lasting legacy in media.

Best known for her roles in Disney's "Kim Possible," "Even Stevens," and "Cadet Kelly," Christy became the first person to star in three Disney Channel projects simultaneously*. Along with her vast career in television, animation, and film, she made her Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning musical Parade, originating the role of 'Mary Phagan' at 14. Christy is also known for bringing Disney princess Belle' to life in the highly acclaimed Beauty and the Beast on Broadway and 'Kate Monster' in Avenue Q on Broadway. In recent years, Christy found herself ahead of the nostalgia wave with her popular YouTube series formats, Christy's Kitchen Throwback, and her intimate "Walk & Talk" videos, which amassed a significant social following while sharing authentic insight into her life.

Christy's highly publicized YouTube channel now boasts 50M views and counting. After five years of successful content production with husband and partner Brendan Rooney, the pair launched PodCo in 2023, which Business Insider quickly profiled as a company to watch. PodCo believes the future of podcasting lies in both the visual and audio mediums and incorporates a unique hybrid format via its Los Angeles studio. Current titles under the PodCo umbrella include chart-topping series' Ned's Declassified Podcast Survival Guide, Wizards of Waverly Pod, Vulnerable, Fuller House with Dave Coulier, and Big Name B*tches.

Romano has actively participated in countless charities, including the American Cancer Society, St. Jude's Hospital, The Center for Child Protection, and UNICEF. She designed and dedicated the proceeds of her 'Ready for Action' Mickey statue to the Children's Miracle Network and has fulfilled several wishes for the Make-a-Wish Foundation. In 2023, She was asked to join the SAG affiliate "Looking Ahead Program" advisory board benefiting young artists.

When Christy is not busy filming, hosting, creating content, or building out PodCo, she can be found spending quality time with her husband and daughters in their Austin, Texas home.
