Wearable X CEO, Fast Company Top 100 Creative, Billie Whitehouse

Billie Whitehouse, CEO, designer, and director of Wearable X has been bridging the gap between technology innovation and apparel for much of the last decade. Billie shares the story behind her journey while tapping into the important aspects of building a community, rather than just a network that you can lean on in times of need. She talks about moving from Australia to Italy to learn design, and how that helped her with her lineage of products – from Fundawear, the Alert Shirt, and the Navigate Blazer, to her current project. Diving deeper into the conversation, she shares her thoughts about the troubling experiences women often face in business, like sexual harassment, what we can do to confront that reality, and what solutions we can be a part of.
