Getting retrenched during COVID-19 can be truly devastating, especially when it happens during your maternity leave. This\xa0 happened to my guest Susan Galvin, who was retrenched in March this year. Instead of becoming paralysed by the challenge she decided to start her own company and design her own watch brand by using kick-starter funding. Susan talks about her journey to becoming a watchmaker in Finland and her experience in the male orientated luxury watch industry. She has over 10 years experience working as level 5 Omega watchmaker for prestigious global companies such as LVMH, in the UK and Australia, and The Swatch Group, Omega in Australia.\xa0

You will\xa0 learn:

  • What skills and attitude you need to go straight\xa0 from school to work for a global luxury brand company\xa0
  • How to turn redundancy into a new opportunity\xa0
  • How to make kick-started funding work successfully for your start-up
