Welcome to Season 4 of Fashion. Business. Mindset! We are kicking off our new season with an inspiring, purpose-driven guest who together with the team at DECJUBA is making a positive social impact.  In this episode, I chat with Gill Whelan the General Manager of DECJUBA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of leading fashion retailer, DECJUBA.  Working closely with DECJUBA Owner & CEO, Tania Austin, Gill is establishing and steering partnerships with local and international charity organisations with the aim of positively impacting 25 million lives by 2025.   Gill’s previous role was as Senior Partnerships & Public Relations Manager at not-for-profit organisation, St Kilda Mums.  She brings insights from her experiences in fundraising to her approach to philanthropy, with a focus on funding to build capacity and longer term partnerships.
