She had spent all her working life in the lab and was ready for something different\, a more flexible career around her family. She knew she was passionate about technology and social media\, so she started working as a virtual assistant on the side\, and with the help of The Women’s Organisation was able to have a successful start and leave her 9-5 in only a few months. \n \nShe has now transitioned to a more technical Online Business Manager role\, and she helps online service providers by taking care of the tech backend of their business\, so they can work in their zone of genius and achieve a more balanced lifestyle. With a passion for helping others to achieve the same\, she has also started mentoring women to become virtual assistants/online business managers. \nYou can contact Ilaria at www.ilariasambi.com \nSarah O’Brien – Co-Founder of Make Thread \n\n\n\nMake Thread is a community platform that connects design\, social media and e-commerce in one place.

Retailers both off and online have dictated and driven seasonality across the fashion industry for too long\, sadly with long-lasting repercussions to our environment”  \n“We want to break this cycle through a simple\, three-point approach: empower design talent\, sustainably offer original limited-edition designs and let the consumer decide if they want to invest in designs by pre-ordering and ultimately producing the item. “
