Accountant | Angel Investor | Content Creator
Born:Wellington, New Zealand

I enjoy boxing, MMA, skateboarding, JDM cars, and rock music, and I love unwinding with horror, action, or comedy movies. By the age of 18, I was already a paid content creator; today, I still love the process, whether I’m creating for LUCIA or working on personal hobby projects.

Girl dad. Rink junkie. Kitchen mad scientist. I thrive on energy, creativity, and finding joy in the mess, whether it's sauce, paint, or ice shavings. Be good to each other.

Vasie Papadopoulos
WXN Canada's Most Powerful Women Top 100 Award Winner | Communications and Public Affairs Executive Leader
Resides:Brooklyn, New York
I've worked and lived in Canada, Switzerland and the US. I've had a blast bringing strategic insight to all kinds of companies, from Fortune 500 giants to fast-moving startups, helping them unlock big growth. When I'm not advising, I love letting my creative side loose by designing shoes or capturing beautiful moments as a travel photographer.
