Bio
I am a fashion tech founder and product manager.
For over a decade now, I have been obsessed with building the most seamless consumer experiences in fashion or anywhere really.
I started my career at a NYC based company Gilt groupe where I worked on offering our top spend customers white glove service that included personal shopping and styling.
I got my first startup experience as an Early employee at Pointy- retail tech startup which was acquired by Google for 163M.
I left Pointy for Zalando where I worked in designer fashion procurement. Wholesale buying brands like Max Mara, Rebecca Minkoff, Coach , Michael Kors, Tory Burch , Tiger of Sweden and many more.
After Zalando, I left to start Klëm where I have grown my team from just me to 8. Led product development , brand strategy as well as fundraising.
Alongside fashion tech I’m passionate about the following
- Diversity and Inclusion
- Intersectionality
- Creating quality and equal opportunities for African youths- in Africa.
- Making capital accessible to female founders
- Spinning classes
- A cold can of coke on a hot summer day.

Public Speaking
I have spoken at panels and key notes in front of audiences of 250- 2k people. Typically tech audiences around topics of founder journey, diversity and inclusion in tech and future of fashion. I have spoken at the Mansion House Dublin, RDS (Dublin Tech Summit) and Parsons School of Design, NYC.
My Fees
I do not speak for free especially if the event has sponsors or audience paid for the tickets. I will consider speaking for free at low or no budget charity events.
My speaking fee is pretty flexible depending on the event and location so just shoot me an email with the details.
