Join Syama Bunten for an inspiring conversation with Suze Dowling, co-founder of Pattern, a multi-brand consumer goods company operating on a unique private equity model. Suze takes us on her remarkable journey from growing up in a lead-smelting town in rural Australia to becoming a successful entrepreneur in New York City.
In this conversation, Suze shares how her father’s entrepreneurial spirit and financial wisdom shaped her early relationship with money, her bold move to New York with just a few thousand dollars, and the serendipitous meeting that launched her career in digital media. You’ll hear about the risks and rewards of building Jin Lane Media, the agency that took equity in now-iconic brands like Harry’s, Reformation, and SweetGreen, and how that experience led to founding Pattern.
Suze’s story is a masterclass in betting on yourself, taking calculated risks, and building wealth through entrepreneurship while staying true to your values and desire to help others succeed.
