Meet Jane Lu.

The visionary behind Showpo, the global fashion brand capturing the hearts (and wardrobes) of millions around the world.

In 2010, Jane Lu was drowning in debt, recovering from a failed business, and pretending to her parents she still had a job - putting on a suit every morning just to keep up the act. But instead of crawling back to corporate life, she secretly quit her accounting job and started building something of her own.

Fast forward to today, and that “something” is Showpo: a $100M+ fashion powerhouse known globally for its trend-led, affordable pieces and unapologetic mission to empower women.

Beyond fashion, Jane’s made a name for herself in Australia’s startup scene - investing as a Shark on Shark Tank Australia, building a 180K+ strong community of Like Minded Bitches Drinking Wine, and hosting The Lazy CEO podcast.

Jane’s the kind of CEO who proves you don’t need a perfect plan - you just need to start.

The Lazy CEO

After more than a decade, Jane's social media handle, The Lazy CEO, still captures who she is. A fan of working smart, not hard, her ethos is one that Bill Gates once put well: "I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it."

Jane's Impact

Despite the CEO status, Jane has never taken herself too seriously; she's always believed work should be fun - and shared with a passionate, like-minded team.

A big focus of her career is promoting entrepreneurship and women in business. A role model to aspiring entrepreneurs worldwide, she regularly talks up the importance of learning through mistakes, and following your own path unapologetically.

In 2015, she co-founded Like Minded Bitches Drinking Wine, a Facebook group and website for female entrepreneurs and business owners to bond over their experiences. The community has since grown to more than 167,000 members, with meetup events held around the world which includes Bitchcon - a conference hosted by the Like Minded Bitches Drinking Wine.

She is also known for her numerous media and public speaking appearances, in Australia and internationally, and her active support of the local startup scene.
