SAVING WALLETS AND LANDFILLS
We are continuing with our focus on fashion and this week my guest is Zuhairah Washington, President and COO of Otrium, a Dutch-born end to end marketplace that she calls, the best kept secret in fashion.
Otrium is a digital platform where you can buy end of season clothing at accessible prices.
What does that mean?
All those clothes that brands were unable to sell for whatever reason, can be discretely uploaded onto the platform and given a second chance at finding their way to being bought and used, rather than ending up in a landfill or a burning pile.
This of course should give you a hint that sustainability is one of the topics I discussed with Zuhairah. It is one of many huge problems associated with fashion, but things are starting to move in the right direction, and she will explain a bit more in our interview.
Zuhairah started her career in private equity, she has founded her own tech company, had a stint at Uber as well as at Expedia and now here she is telling us about how she’s leading Otrium’s expansion into the US market.
