JULIETTE GIMENEZ

CO-FOUNDER OF FASHION E-COMMERCE PLATFORM GOXIP

I came up with the idea for

Goxip on the toilet. I was reading a gossip magazine and I liked the clothes a celebrity was wearing but I didn’t know the brand and couldn’t find the items online. I decided then and there to build an app where you can take a picture of the item, find it on the app and buy it straight away—all within your toilet time. I was surprised to be asked to appear on the cover of Hong Kong Tatler. I don’t think I’m very glamorous at all, despite running a fashion company. In 10 years, my ambition is to be able to get on the MTR and see every girl on the train browsing Goxip. The most important decision I ever made was to go all-in on my work. The bigger my profile became, the more opportunities came in from big corporates. But I decided I want to work for myself. I want to achieve success on my own terms, build something from scratch, and share the journey with my amazing team.
