#20, Andréa van der Meel, "Changing the world through consideration"
In this episode, Troy Hammond talks with Andréa van der Meel.
We chat about tech, greenwashing, and how we can make considerate decisions on fashion and be better for the environment and the people producing these products. We chat about Andrea's career founding a tech startup on her own in her 20s. We also chat about how the second time around founding a startup, she joined forces with John Holt of Homes.co.nz and Kiwi Landing pad fame and how they did founder vetting with each other.
Andréa van der Meel is dedicated to increasing transparency and accountability in the fashion industry.
With over 15 years of experience in the retail sector, her first business, SeekStock, delivered real-time product feedback to retail brands via store staff.
Now, Andréa is the Co-Founder and Head of Platform of All Things Considered, a community-driven platform driving impactful change around how we produce and consume our clothing.
Andréa put something into the world this year that she wanted to get onto three podcasts as she had never done one before and so she jumped at the chance when we asked her on after hearing about her work.
You would never know this was her first podcast.
