Episode Synopsis
In this episode, Venetia opens up about the early years tracking hijacked ships, the identity shift of moving from high-risk security work to entrepreneurship, and building Ruuby from a London startup into a platform delivering bookings across the UK, Geneva, and now Dubai & Abu Dhabi. We discuss motherhood, resilience, fundraising, operating lean , and the clarity she’s found around zero-to-one energy, leadership, and long-term vision. A conversation about courage, timing, reinvention, and the long game of building a business that lasts - with honesty, ambition, and a whole lot of heart.❤️ Like what you hear?
