Chloe Macintosh co-founded Made.com in 2010 with the mission to offer original design at affordable prices.
Made.com has 250 employees and was named the second fastest growing tech company in the UK. The business has expanded across Europe over the past couple of years, with a YOY growth of more than 60%. In July 2015, the company raised $60m in capital from Partech Ventures and Fidelity Growth Partners.
Chloe was born in Paris but has lived in London for the past 19 years. Her career in design spurred from her early training in Architecture, previously working in Norman Foster's London practice for 10 years where she was promoted as the youngest Associate Partner in 2001 at the age of just 26.
Chloe is now Creative Advisor for Soho House & Co working across brand, product and design with a focus on technology. She has also joined the Board of Advisors of Felix Capital, the venture firm for the creative class.
Chloe was awarded Red Woman of the Year in 2014.
