Fashion, Tech, Business & Real Conversations
Over 10 years, Jodie Fox built a fashion technology empire that captured the world’s imagination and attention. Shoes of Prey raised AUD$37M, delivered shoes to more than 100 countries a month, and even built a factory in China. She heartbreakingly closed the business in March 2018, after-sales growth didn’t match the pace needed for further investment.
Jodie has inspired an entire generation of women to turn their hand to bringing their idea to life. Her generosity in sharing hard-won lessons continued after the business closure, with the publishing of her book Reboot: Probably more than you ever wanted to know about starting a global business in November 2019.
Jodie’s honest, raw, gusty tone delivers crisp, actionable lessons from a place of humble experience, and highly engaging story sharing.
Supporting the Hunter Melanoma Foundation
Initially established in 1986 to provide moral and financial support to the Melanoma Unit, the Hunter Melanoma Foundation (HMF) is today one of the Hunter’s most recognisable education community organisations. Its goal is to prevent and support the cure of melanoma through education, awareness, research and treatment. It relies solely on donations, bequests, grants and fundraising activities to support these objectives.
Being a charity partner for Gen Collective’s International Women’s Day will allow Hunter Melanoma Foundation (HMF) to continue the work we do in the local community around running education programs about the importance of sun safety and early detection of melanoma through regular skin checks. One person dies every five hours from melanoma but if detected early has around a 95% cure rate. This is why HMF is grateful to have the support of Gen Collective in being able to continue their mission of early detection and protection of melanoma.
