Island Icons: Episode One with Sophie Gilmour
10.01.2024Welcome to Island Icons. A series where we celebrate high-performing women. But not in the typical sense—you won't just find corporate execs or top athletes here.
Instead, we’re talking to everyday people who are doing extraordinary things, like juggling work, family and personal passions all at once. We're constantly amazed by how people manage to do so much, so we’re diving into their stories to find out how they keep it all together. We hope you find their stories as inspiring as we do.
Introducing our first Island Icon, Sophie Gilmour! Celebrated restauranteur, founder of Bird on a Wire and part-owner of Fatima's and co-working space The Village in Auckland. Sophie does it all. She also owns hospitality consultancy Delicious Business and serves as a double charity board member for Everybody Eats and DineAid.
A loving wife and dedicated mother of two, Sophie shares her journey through the world of food and hospitality, discussing the pressures of balancing work, family and maintaining a positive outlook.
