DEVFLOW

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

The company is called Verishop and like all good ideas, we started Verishop out of a need. And what we needed was a more inspiring place to shop online, fast and free shipping, and an exciting way to discover new brands.

We basically took everything we loved, and improved everything we didn’t, to create a platform you’d actually want to shop on. Plus, we specialize in partnering with global and digitally native brands to really bring you the best of fashion, beauty, and home.

This is Verishop and I'm the associate director, HR/Recruiting.
