The visionary behind Showpo, the global fashion brand, capturing the heart of millions of customers globally. Jane had started out in the corporate world as an accountant. With her enthusiasm for entrepreneurship, she quit, and started a business running pop-up stores selling products from emerging designers. It eventually folded, leaving her jobless and broke (and her parents none the wiser). But she wasn’t put off. A month later, she launched Showpo.
“You don’t succeed in spite of failure, you succeed because of failure.”
In 2010, Jane faced numerous obstacles, including a mountain of debt, a failed business, and unemployment. Despite these challenges, Jane refused to let them get in the way of her dreams. What started with a laptop and two shelves of clothing in her parents’ garage in Sydney is now a global fashion force, offering thousands of trend-driven styles, from clothes to accessories, and shipping to more than 120 countries.
Fast forward thirteen years to today, and Jane’s hard work has paid off. Showpo is known worldwide for its trendy and affordable clothing that has a set mission to empower women everywhere. Alongside this, Jane has launched her the Lazy Ceo’s guide to starting & growing an online business online masterclass, The Lazy Ceo Podcast and is a part of the panel of Shark Tank Australia.
