Building a website optimisation platform

About

Hey, I’m Emma, a UX‑obsessed strategist who’s spent the last (nearly) two decades helping brands grow up! I’ve led digital transformations in B2B marketplaces, turned a small hospitality startup into a global name, and helped an AI data platform evolve its product to the point it was acquired by L’Oréal. Along the way, I’ve built and coached cross‑functional teams across Europe, Asia, and the US, always with the same focus: research‑led UX, clear positioning, beautiful design, and experiences that convert. Now my main obsession is you x you i. I'm taking everything I’ve learned from e‑commerce, hospitality, and tech and turning it into tools and coaching that help SMB founders fix their UX, lift conversion, and build businesses that are genuinely investable and acquisition‑ready.

For a while, I gave up exercising. And yesterday, the bell rang when my teammate asked the whole team: When was the last time you did some sport?

🧘 Is AppSumo still worth trying for a startup?

A friend of mine launched there a few years ago, and they were really happy with the results. At some point, they even considered AppSumo one of their main growth engines.

So now I m wondering how it looks today.

What do you think the most successful people in business have in common?

There are a million books on how to become successful and what entrepreneurs do/don't do, and it's kind of attributed to that. Whether it's waking up early, meditating, or other practices.

But what do you think makes them where they are?
