to see if you have any of the ingredients which are present within the recipe that Jaime is talking the audience through. You notice that you have three of the six main ingredients. You then decide that you would like to cook this meal for tomorrow’s dinner. You then order the remaining ingredients direct from your smart TV widget; this transaction automatically syncs with your integrated Tesco shopping account and a delivery is sent through to your home through the Tesco next day delivery mechanism.
What is your favourite high tech gadget? Xylobands; we are currently working with them to see how we might integrate their technology with a social graph app we are creating within our studio.
Do you think women in business are still getting a raw deal? No not really. I think men want women to succeed in business. That’s been my experience to date anyway. There is a lot of controversy out there with reference to the glass-ceiling etc. I believe things just take time to change and we are already witnessing that change and have for some time already. There are many more women in high powered positions now and that will only increase. I believe in diversity in the workplace however diversity should not be at the cost of quality or level of experience.
How are you planning on spending the summer months? At this stage, we have a few options: sailing around Croatia on a super yacht with a large group of friends and my fiancé, a week in Ibiza in a beautiful villa, or driving from London through to St Tropez on a super car rally. We will probably do all three.
Where do you see yourself both professionally and personally in ten years time? Married, with a child and happy family, successful within exiting Venturespring and any startups within the portfolio, living between the UK, US and South of France or equivalent holiday destination, focusing a lot more on philanthropy and giving back and enjoying a more chilled out life!
Finally what sort of figures do you hope Venturespring will bring in the next three years? Let’s just say that we are aiming high in terms of turnover and revenues for this year and next.
