Monica Phromsavanh moved to New York in 2006 with $200 USD in her pocket, a suitcase stuffed with her belongings and a dream to make it on her own. Upon arriving, she used $73 to buy a Metro card, and the rest to eat Dollar Menu every day. But within just years of setting foot in New York she'd not only found her niche - she had built her MODABOX business from the ground up, generating $3 million in revenue by its third year.
She is an International Keynote speaker at the 2016 Online Retailer Conference & Expo (OR), hosted on 20-21 July at the Royal Hall of Industries and Hordern Pavilion, Sydney.
This year, OR will launch a partnership with Remodista and their global Women2Watch in Retail Disruption Program, offering Australian female Retail leaders the opportunity to be globally recognised for their success. Remodista's annual list of Women2Watch celebrates women who are leading the way in online and brick-and-mortar retailing, experimenting with new ways to solve problems in operations, marketing, commerce, supply chain, logistics and globalization. The 2017 Women2Watch list will be announced at the end of this year.
