This week I had the great pleasure to catch up with Wanda Toro Turini! You would describe Wanda as a seasoned entrepreneur! Wanda has a Doctorate in Pharmacy and was in critical care and emergency medicine who always had an interest in the business. She was always the person who had great ideas and wanted to make a change - as such she saw her career shifting to the marketing world.
She had the opportunity to work in Marketing in the pharmaceutical space and learn so much from a group of senior people. As such Wanda found herself in corporate and being groomed for a senior role I but saw those around her and saw the time that they had to travel and be away from their families and decided that all though she wasn’t even married nor did she have children that she wanted something different.
She literally dived off the cliff and created her own business because she couldn’t launch her business as it would have been a conflict of interest with where she worked currently. Through creating her own business Wanda has been able to work in all parts of the world and adjust her working to fit in with her lifestyle and children.
Have a listen - you are going to love listening to Wanda’s journey, the lessons that she has learned, and how her and her businesses continue to evolve.
