Saasha Celestial-One is the co-founder & COO of Olio, a sharing app for local communities, on a mission to fight waste. They make it easy to pass on the things we no longer need — from food to furniture, and clothes to books — to people who live nearby. They also work with businesses to redistribute unsold or unserved food. That way, every last bit of edible food ends up benefitting local people, rather than it ending up in the bin.
Prior to founding Olio, Saasha spent 13 years in finance, strategy and business development roles at Morgan Stanley, McKinsey & American Express, and also founded My Creche, London's first PAYG provider offering flexible childcare for busy parents.
Saasha joins James Pringle and Hector Mason in this episode to share about the food waste problem that sparked the idea for Olio, the challenge of building a business around it, dealing with doubters, & so much more.
