My guest today is Ferdinand Metzler, co-founder and CEO of Meepl, a Zurich-based company that develops accurate 3D virtual bodies & clothing models.

Ferdinand's story is fascinating. After spending a semester in Hong Kong where he discovered the issues plaguing the fashion industry; he returned home united a small team of engineers and started the development of what would later become the foundation of the meepl 3D body scan technology.

In today's episode we discuss:

  • Ferdinand's experience living in Hong Kong and how he views the East vs. West dichotomy
  • How he came up with the idea for Meepl
  • Why he is bullish on the Zurich tech ecosystem
  • How he thinks about culture and hiring
  • The impact of COVID on fashion and retail
  • and much, much more

We recorded this conversation just when the COVID-19 outbreak started being covered on mainstream media so do keep that in mind as you listen. That said, our conversation is as relevant as ever.
