Cornwall Founders' Club October 2026

Nina co-founded luxury lingerie lifestyle brand Myla.com, backed by VC and family office capital, and was named one of the most influential people in fashion in the noughties. She went on to co-found Zinc Retail, an AI/ML analytics SaaS platform sold to Nectar in 2014. Nina is also a world-leading expert in customer behavioural analytics. She was part of the ground-breaking team that pioneered Tesco Clubcard and its use of data to drive business decisions. Today she mentors deep and frontier tech start-ups through IUSEGENIUS, guiding them from Pre-Seed to Series B and beyond. She has also advised start-ups through the RCA’s innovation accelerator and Creative UK’s growth programme.
