overview
Eva moved to the UK on her own at 16 to pursue a good education. Living with diverse host families gave her a unique global perspective and rich cultural intelligence — which became invaluable when identifying multinational opportunities for clients such as Uber or H&M during her internship at C Space. Eva joined True just after graduating from Durham University, and has been with us ever since.

Why did you choose True?
Whilst the firm’s unique business model and focus on consumer and retail innovation were major pulling factors, the ultimate reason I chose True was the emphasis on responsible business. I devoted several academic projects to the areas of CSR and ESG which has inspired me to promote positive social and environmental change in my career.
How would you describe your job to a five-year-old?
As a recent joiner, I’m still kind of hoping someone will do that for me.
What do you love most — and least — about your job?
I love how knowledgeable everyone is but think this is also what I dislike the most!
Name an idea or company that reimagined a business or industry — one you wish you’d thought of.
Pioneering the preventative skincare industry, Atolla utilises AI and leverages consumer data to formulate personalised skincare solutions.
Which person or people helped shape and inspire who you are today?
My mother for teaching me English from a very young age and showing me that there are greater things across the pond.
