Irina Leca is a serial entrepreneur who previously co-founded VectorWatch, a smartwatch startup acquired by Fitbit and later Google. Today, Irina is on a mission as the CEO & Co-founder of Nooka Space to redefine the concept of the workspace and help build smart, accessible, and environmentally friendly offices of the future.
Listen to Irina talk about why she started Nooka Space, an idea born of the pandemic, where she realized what people hated about the office was not the office space itself, but rather the commute. Nooka Space is the first global network of proximity office spaces that brings the office closer to workers – improving work-life balance and reducing both commute time and CO2 emissions.
In the episode Irina also dives into how her parents inspired her onto her entrepreneurship path and how she carefully considered different factors when the exit opportunity came for VectorWatch.
