Meet Lamia Pardo, Co-Founder & CEO of Journify

Meet Lamia Pardo she is the Co-Founder & CEO of Journify.

What messages have you had to confront (internally or externally) to pursue your personal & professional path?

“After many years in Fintech, everyone assumed Fintech was my best bet. Many of the professionals I respect in the tech world told me i was already a Fintech person. Comments like “you’re wasting your Fintech background”, “you’re so good with Fintech because you can add value in any department”, etc etc. But that wasn’t the hardest ones. I also got “You?? Wellness??”. I don’t like exercising so I guess that made me a wrong fit for the wellness space in people’s minds. Even if I was focusing more on mental wellness. I still went ahead because my vision was always to make Journify a mainstream platform. Wellness shouldn’t be a niche, so therefore wellness was also for me. Today, I already know more about what I do than Fintech regulations, challenges, etc. It’s because I’m in a space I find so interesting, so I want to read and talk about it all the time. And I get to apply all of my other learned skills (performance marketing, branding, strategy, product management, fundraising, etc!).”
