Eva recently joined Wrays’ CEO Rob Pierce to explore what innovation looks like to her and the remarkable people she meets each day.

As part of our WiTWA in Conversations series, Wrays' Head of Marketing & Business Development, Rebecca Hembling is joined by Iris Smit, the CEO and Founder of The Quick Flick, one of Australia's fastest-growing beauty brands.  Iris started her company whilst still at university in WA. The Quick Flick is now a multi-million dollar business and can be found in stores nationwide, as well as in the UK, USA, Europe and Middle East markets. Last year, Iris also launched a new innovation into the market - the Beauty Fridge.  The 25-year-old entrepreneur remains committed and true to what she believes in, with very clear goals and a strong vision of where she wants the brand to go. We find out more about Iris' experience in this short interview. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the excitement grows for this month’s WiTWA 2020 Virtual Conference, we take some time to reflect on one of our highlights from last year’s event. At just 13 years old, Catherine Moolenschot guest wrote her first book, A Rough Road. At 17, she gave her first Tedx talk, Living Your Funnel of Greatness, and today she ghostwrites books for CEO's and professionals. She is also the author of the recently published Jim's Book, a biography of the founder of the iconic Jim’s franchise. Catherine has an impressive resume and is a great inspiration, not only to young people but to everyone who is thinking about starting a business or writing a book. Fresh from appearing in the Youth in Tech panel discussion, Catherine took some time out during the 2019 WiTWA Conference to chat to Wrays’ CEO Rob Pierce about her journey so far.
