CODE Founders Series | Lessons from a previous life: How first careers shaped hospitality founders

CODE Founders Series Powered by Toast

Our panellists – John Devitt, Founder of Koya; Cynthia Shanmugalingam, founder of Rambutan; Ollie Gold, founder of Pophams Bakery; and Ria Morgan-Ratcliffe, founder of Ria’s – have all come from other industries. Hear how they’ve turned their outsider’s perspective into a competitive advantage, managed imposter syndrome, and identified which skills transfer – and which don’t.

Agenda:

• Starting over again
• Why outsiders have a competitive advantage
• What nobody tells you about changing careers
• Learning from the experts

Speakers:

John Devitt - founder of Koya

Cynthia Shanmugalingam - founder of Rambutan

Ollie Gold - founder of Pophams Bakery

Ria Morgan-Ratcliffe - founder of Ria's

Timings:

6:00pm Arrival at Shoreditch Arts Club
6:30pm Panel talk
7:30pm Post-talk networking and canapés
8:30pm Finish
