On our tenth episode of Two Pence Worth: Stories from female Founders in Climate, I spoke to Saasha Celestial-One: Co-Founder and COO of OLIO.
Saasha is Co-Founder and COO of OLIO, a free app harnessing the power of mobile technology and the sharing economy to provide a revolutionary solution to the problem of food waste. Before OLIO, Saasha founded London’s first pay-as-you-go high street childcare provider, and prior to that she spent 13 years at Morgan Stanley, McKinsey and American Express.
