Episode description
In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Lamees Butt, SVP of Zoovu.
Lamees delved into her journey from a humble upbringing in East London to her current role in the tech industry. Growing up in East London instilled in Lamees a hunger for success and a drive to think outside the box. Despite facing challenges, she pursued her passion for entrepreneurship, starting with a personal shopping business during her university days. This venture eventually led to the creation of "My Mannequin," an app aimed at revolutionizing the shopping experience by leveraging AI to curate personalized outfits for users.
However, despite initial success, Lamees encountered setbacks and ultimately experienced the failure of "My Mannequin." Undeterred, she persevered, taking on various roles, including working at Mercedes-Benz, where she honed her skills and navigated her way up the corporate ladder. Today, as the SVP of Global Partnerships at Zoovu, Lamees focuses on scaling the company through strategic partnerships, leveraging her diverse experiences to drive growth and innovation.
In her podcast, "In Her Shoes," Lamees aims to amplify the voices of women leaders in the tech industry, sharing their stories, challenges, and triumphs to inspire the next generation of female leaders. Through candid conversations, Lamees provides a blueprint for empowerment and encourages women to rise and thrive in male-dominated fields.
