It's pretty safe to assume that Jenny Child didn't think she'd ever be the CEO of Oroton when she was growing up in the Midwest of America.

Jenny grew up in Ohio, graduated from Northwestern University (Illinois), and obtained an MBA from Duke University(North Carolina).

She moved to Australia from Atlanta while she was working for Powerhouse Consultancy firm McKinsey and Company in 2015. Jenny was in a secure place professionally at McKinsey & Co, moving up the corporate ladder and becoming a partner at the Sydney office.

But in 2021, Jenny took a leap of faith and decided to take up an offer to run an 80-year-old Australian fashion luxury brand.

Yep you're reaction was probably like mine "how the hell did that happen?"

It's an awesome story, make sure you tune in to this week's Mentor Podcast to find out she became the boss of Oroton.
