Co-founder & co-Ceo @Chili Piper 🔥 🌶 Here I talk about lessons I learned to jumpstart my career from an intern to SVP. And to grow a company from 0 to almost 1 Bn

Started my own company before high school to pay for my own education. Sold lipstick and my tech skills. Decided to do a master in computer science because make-up was a low margin business

Went on to create first mobile products with millions of users for Thomson Reuters, Bloomberg, Pearson. Some of them went to be keynoted on stage by Steve Jobs 

The past few years have got me back to entrepreneurship and it fits me like a glove. I founded Chili Piper - the demand conversion platform that doubles inbound conversion rates for cool companies like Spotify, Airbnb, Snapchat, Shopify and thousands others. Recently gone through a financial transaction that got us close to a billion dollar valuation 

On LinkedIn I write about lessons I learned as a woman & mom entrepreneur and hope to help others find their own giants within to prevail in their lives at work
