Skinfitness was one of our very first brands on board when we were still in alpha mode. We thought it was appropriate to kick off our first member spotlight by chatting with Amy about her experience of stumbling into partnerships by accident and building a new business in a foreign country.

My background has been predominantly in retail. Back in Australia, before moving to Singapore, I worked for the luxury department store chain David Jones, and I was with them for about eight years. I absolutely loved my job. It was really fun retailing all sorts of different categories, everything from beauty to fashion, food, menswear and homewares.

I ran stores for them in both Melbourne and Sydney and then moved into an executive role in commercial operations. It was a great career and I was quite sad to be honest, to leave that when we had to move. When I arrived in Singapore, I took some time off to study and I completed a master's of business administration which helped me work out what my next steps would be.

By the end of my studies, I had decided that I definitely needed to now go out on my own and felt that I had all the tools that I needed to take that leap so I founded a business called SkinFitness.
