Several members of the @nuoraglobal.bsky.social team are part of the @nuvoices.bsky.social collective. It's amazing -- and inspiring -- to see what happens when smart women come together and pool their expertise and experience!
What started as café and happy hour meetups in Vancouver with co-founder Crystal Tai has grown into a powerhouse team of women spanning Paris, New York, and Hong Kong. Building this company from the ground up has been such a privilege.
