The question I am asked a lot is “what do you do now that you are not the CEO of RedBalloon?” Whilst life is busy, it is not chaotic – it is purposeful.
Last Mo
Tuesday had me at The Star for their International Women’s Day event with Sally Obermeder and Greg Hawkins – a fabulous event celebrating inspiring women.
By Wednesday I found myself in Auckland, having the privilege of speaking to 200 odd CFO’s at the NZ CFO Summit. I met and heard Shaun Rean talk about the rise of consumerism in China and the massive business opportunity that that represents.
On Thursday, still in Auckland, I set myself to work catching up on all things RedBalloon New Zealand we have many many new suppliers joining the range and many new big initiatives about to launch. It was great to be waving the #redballoon flag.
The weekend saw me at #TasteofSydney with the incredible RedBalloon team – what a huge job they did getting the classes arranged so Sydney could get a taste of what RedBalloon can offer by way of dining and culinary experiences – we aren’t just good for skydiving! – why don’t you check out the website for some more fab ideas? I got to taste Chef Justin Cincotta’s beautiful food from The Thievery. It was a real treat!
