In the 10 years since Aimee Connolly founded the viral beauty brand Sculpted by Aimee, it’s become a multimillion euro enterprise with plans to increase its revenues this year by 25 per cent.
Today, the host Ciarán Hancock asks about her early days as an entrepreneur, starting the business with €10,000 in savings, and her tips on leadership, scaling, and plans to enter the lucrative US market.
