Nori is an inspiring entrepreneur, working mother and sustainable business expert based in Tokyo - this time Nori joins us to introduce HUE - a new kind of foodie / map app to share your favorite eateries with likeminded users in Japan and beyond.
The Pod-Save-America episode I reference in the beginning of the show on being sober & community connection need in society "Why Does Gen Z Prefer Going Sober?" is here: https://youtu.be/8FNiRbDz_XA?si=SM4NDBHCk4soEw9A
Nori grew up in London, started her career in banking at Citi and product management and Amazon before launching the community hub Veggino, then the and sustainability-focused startup Ekolokal app and cafe, and launched HUE a new app startup at the end of 2023 - and is acting COO.
