As the world’s first video-led career matchmaking app, we’re proud to sponsor “In Her Shoes” and champion the stories of women who are breaking boundaries and rewriting the rules at work.

This week on In Her Shoes, we’re stepping into the world of beauty (and serious people power) with Victoria Foley, Chief People Officer at Beauty Pie. With nearly two decades of experience shaping people-first cultures at some of the UK’s most beloved brands, Victoria knows a thing or two about building teams where everyone can thrive.

We get real about what it takes to lead a modern workplace, to driving bold conversations about inclusion, wellbeing, and belonging. Victoria shares her journey from agency recruiter to CPO, her lessons learned in the trenches of retail and e-commerce, and how she’s helping Beauty Pie’s team bring their best selves to work every day.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like behind the scenes at a disruptive beauty brand, or you’re curious about how to create a workplace where people feel seen, heard, and celebrated this episode’s for you.

Tune in for honest insights, practical tips, and a healthy dose of inspiration from one of the industry’s top people leaders.
