Please tell us a little bit about yourself
I’m a mix of nationalities, languages and cultures. I have been very lucky to live in many places, meet fantastic people, and have a fulfilling career! I’m a really positive person and I definitely make sure I appreciate each day.
What made you make the leap from journalism to entrepreneurship?
The idea of becoming an entrepreneur was rooted in a simple desire: I wanted to be my own boss. I had worked for a number of different companies and witnessed first hand what bad leadership looks like. I was convinced that there must be another way to run a successful business: one based on kindness. Definitely being naive is an advantage when you throw yourself into building a business from scratch.
What do you love most about your job?
I love the diversity of what I do, the people I work with, the brands we have the privilege to partner with. Building and scaling a business requires so many different skills: you have to constantly adapt, learn and deal with challenges. It definitely has not always been an easy ride, but you learn as much from the mistakes and failures, as you do from the successes.
What has been your proudest moment in your career to date?
There have been so many moments I treasure, from being quoted in articles in my favourite newspapers, to working with incredible brands. However, my proudest moment was becoming part of Gusto Collective in 2020. Having built the business for 10 years it was the right time to become part of something bigger, and the vision to combine our business with technology was very exciting. Three years on, I’m still loving my work.
What is the best piece of advice you have been given?
I tell myself, my kids and our colleagues the same thing: be kind and just try your best. It’s that simple.
What makes a successful business woman?
Resilience (the ability to get back up quickly when you get knocked down), good humour, and a great group of friends and family.
