Welcome to the exclusive newsletter of Tech Powered Luxury
Hello Tech Powered Luxury listener, and now reader!
Who are we, and what led us here today?
Launched as a podcast on November 1st 2022 by Ashley McDonnell, Tech Powered Luxury has since nurtured a vibrant community of experts passionate about the evolving synergy between technology and luxury. We have reached over 20 million people through the podcast, social platforms and media, and have hit +500K downloads.
🎙️ Each week, we feature leading voices who share both their professional journeys and personal insights, unraveling the success stories of those who are crafting the future of this dynamic industry.
With over 60 episodes live across podcast platforms and MBA-worthy content - specially considering that Tech Powered Luxury is also taught to executive MBA and master students in business schools around the world -, we’re launching Season 5! We’re moving from an audio podcast to a full-blown show, with all episodes recorded in-person and available to watch (as well as listen).
📩 Not only that - in order to connect more deeply with our community and to curate essential insights for our readers, every Tuesday alongside a new podcast episode you'll receive an email brimming with exclusive content, key takeaways from the week's discussion and a sneak peek at upcoming interviews.
🪄 Our weekly newsletter is curated by Beatriz Barros, a seasoned expert in luxury and technology based in Milan, Italy. A dedicated collaborator of Tech Powered Luxury, Beatriz applies her expertise as a Fashion & Luxury Business Consultant at Retex—Italy's forefront company known for integrating strategic acumen with operational excellence to solve complex retail-oriented projects for fashion & luxury brands. Additionally, she educates aspiring professionals at Polimoda, renowned for its focus on Fashion Design & Business in the vibrant city of Florence, Italy - also where she first met Ashley during one of her lectures on the future of luxury: a match made in academic heaven 🌈
