Vienna, Vienna, Austria
💚 I am Caroline, CEO and co-founder of NEWORN. We are a AI-driven platform for trusted, personalized kids' secondhand shopping. 👩🎓 Ambitious, organized, communicative, creative with a wide range of interests in the economic and mathematical field are characteristics that would not only describe me well but are also reasons which led to my choice of doing my bachelor's in Business administration & E-Business management and my MBA with a major in International Business. 🌍 Over the years I was able to gain insight into various industries through several internships and jobs. I worked for an online luxury boutique in Geneva before going to Singapore for an internship in a dry bulk shipping company, Berge Bulk. I also worked as a social media correspondent for Biovital, a nutrition supplement, for almost three years and had the chance to join the team of a Start-Up in the food industry. In 2018, I completed an internship at Austria’s largest travel agency, Ruefa, and subsequently worked at Austria’s National Tourism Office. In autumn 2019, I started working in Sales for Fleurs de Paris before joining RHI Magnesita in February 2020 as Market Intelligence Support in Rotterdam. 2020 I joined Friday Finance, where I was Head of Account Management until August 2023.
Neworn is a circular economy platform for unsold and pre-loved children's items. We want to transform how parents shop for their children in order to benefit the planet and build a closed loop.
