My guest is my friend, fellow Finn and business partner of 4 years, Minna Monaghan. We discuss how COVID made us pivot from our travel aviation consultancy business to open a recycling retail fashion store in Sydney. We talk about our careers and how we both ended up moving from Finland to Australia.\\xa0

Minna\\u2019s career path took her from advertising to various aviation management roles with QANTAS and Virgin. My own journey started at sales and marketing in hospitality, then running my own marketing PR consultancy for over 10 years. After the GFC, I ended up in travel tech marketing for 6 years. Minna and I set up our travel-aviation consultancy in 2017, representing AIRHELP air passenger rights company in APAC.\\xa0

We discuss how the idea of VENLA was born at the end of 2020. The VENLA mission is to recycle fashion and help to reduce fashion waste. We talk about the success of VENLA MOSMAN in its first 6 months, which has now enabled us to open our 2nd store, VENLA BONDI, in Sydney Eastern suburbs.
