#109 Erin Deering - Co-Founder of Triangl Swimwear and Founder of Deering

In this episode, I interview Erin Deering - Co-Founder of Triangl Swimwear and Founder of Deering. Launching Triangl Swimwear in 2013, the brand saw rapid growth with revenue hitting $70 million pa in the space of a few short years and a valuation of $200 million at its peak.

Throughout the conversation, Erin talks about the challenges that come with such rapid growth, recognising that she needed to make changes, and how she emerged stronger for the experience. She talks about exiting her business and how the lessons from Triangl influence her new fashion brand, Deering.
