10. Mandy Davis: From Carlson Wagonlit to DHaRCO

This episode’s guest is founder and director of DHaRCO, Mandy Davis.

Davis is a downhill rider and racer who calls Sydney’s Northern Beaches home. Like many founders she created the brand after finding there wasn’t something that suited her needs. When she couldn’t find any clothing that suited what she was after in terms of comfort and style she founded DHaRCO, but well before that she has had a career in corporate, experience leaving that behind and plenty of hard yards along the way.

In this episode Mandy shares:

• How school prepared her for leadership
• The challenge she encountered when she was given a leadership position over an experienced person who was already in the team
• What happened when two people in her team started a relationship when the company didn’t approve
• How she left corporate but her hours ended up being longer than she expected
• the challenges DHaRCO encountered in the post covid slump
