In this episode of Data Planet, host Emma Davis interviews Kalli Prins, Vice President of Growth at The Female Founder Collective.

Kalli shares the unconventional career journey that took her from fashion and product development into technology, startups, and growth leadership, offering lessons on how to navigate major career pivots without starting from scratch.

She explains how her experience at Maker’s Row helped her combine her fashion expertise with an interest in technology, efficiency, marketplaces, and recurring revenue, while also exploring how she helped restructure operations and build more scalable systems. Kalli also discusses her approach to growth, including customer acquisition, retention, pricing, distribution, and membership-based business models, as well as why she is drawn to turning chaos into order through pattern recognition, experimentation, and data-driven decision-making.

She shares a practical perspective on career reinvention, including the value of making a “45-degree pivot” by combining existing expertise with new skills rather than making a complete career reset.

Kalli also reflects on building a career around opportunities that create energy, developing expertise through deep curiosity and intentional learning, and her mission to help female founders access the networks, resources, and support needed to build and scale their businesses.
