Hello my beautiful Woman Inc. listeners! I have the best gift to share with you this week. She is the queen of the Metaverse, Harry Potter loving, Dreamer who also just happens to be the founder who is leading top brands into Metaverse through her company Illumix. I have the brilliant Kirin Sinha with us this week and I fan girl(ed) pretty hard.
Kirin created Illumix when she was only 25 years old and is one of Silicon Valley’s few minority leaders with a technical background. In 2021, she was named one of Variety's “10 Innovators to Watch,” and beyond pushing boundaries on technological innovation, she’s also guiding Illumix to lead by example in the gaming industry on topics like gender parity by selecting a leadership team evenly split between men and women.
Kirin received a degree in electrical engineering, computer science and mathematics from MIT and holds advanced degrees in mathematics, statistics and business from the University of Cambridge, LSE and Stanford. With a passion to support girls in STEM, she founded the nonprofit SHINE for Girls, which empowers girls to learn math by building their confidence through dance. llumix is taking the Metaverse to a different level by working with major brands to create virtual try ons and partnering with a multitude of industries to create their Metaverse.
I hope you are as blown away by Kirin as I am. She is a wealth of knowledge and has such beautiful, humble energy. Now, let’s get over to my conversation with Kirin.
