It’s all part of a revolution in the way consumers interact with products. At the helm is Andrew Xeni, founder & chairman of Nobody’s Child, founder & CEO of Fabacus, and our guest today.
Andrew Xeni: We come from very humble beginnings as a family. I tried everything and anything when I was younger, I was very keen to start earning money at a young age. I’m one of those that, you know, if I enjoy it and I apply myself to it and then I can generally have a good go.
Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff: That’s Andrew Xeni, founder & chairman of the women’s clothing brand Nobody’s Child, and founder & CEO of Fabacus, a global technology company.
AX: Sort of the age of 25, me and my older brother agreed to work together and support him in building a family manufacturing business for the first time. My parents used to have a small CMT factory in North London, so we knew that we had somewhere to produce product. We were a women’s wear manufacturer, primarily jersey, woven, soft separates.
