Chief Operations Officer & Co-Founder

About Veneka

Veneka is a personalized sustainable, ethical, and cruelty-free capsule wardrobe styling service. We’re on a mission to ensure every closet is high-functioning, gives its owner back time and energy while creating a positive ripple effect. There’s a dormant power lying in the simple ritual of getting dressed, and we exist to unlock it. In brief, we’re changing the world, one closet at a time.

Fashion is among the top industrial contributors to climate change and the greatest exploiters of people (particularly women) on the planet. We’ve created the most stringent standards for impact in the retail industry.

We’re seeking a COO / Co-Founder to take ownership of building scalable systems and processes, new styling solutions, brand partnerships and much more. Co-create a monastic work culture that encourages everyone to live their fullest lives.

We have product-market fit and customers rave about their experience with us. If you’re passionate about using your work as a vehicle for meaningful change, we’d love to hear from you.
