“Cardiff Entrepreneur Honored on Forbes 30 Under 30: The Inspirational Journey of Olivia Jenkins”
Olivia Jenkins, a 27-year-old entrepreneur from Cardiff, has achieved a remarkable feat by securing a spot on the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe 2024 list. Her jewellery brand, D. Louise, co-founded with her boyfriend Jack Zambakidesco in 2021, has garnered recognition for its unique concept and heartfelt inspiration.
The journey to this accolade has been deeply personal for Jenkins, who named her business after her late mother, Deborah Louise, who passed away from cancer in 2017. Motivated by her mother's memory, Jenkins poured her heart and soul into building a brand that not only honours her legacy but also embraces life with vigour.
Reflecting on her inclusion in the Forbes list, Jenkins expressed disbelief and gratitude, stating, “I feel like I need to pinch myself. It doesn't feel real.” For her, the recognition symbolizes the culmination of a dream she harboured since the inception of D. Louise.
Despite not considering herself inherently entrepreneurial, Jenkins' passion for jewellery and a desire to create functional pieces led her to establish D. Louise. Her vision was to craft accessories that were waterproof and sweatproof, allowing wearers to seamlessly integrate them into their daily lives.
Since its launch, D. Louise has experienced remarkable success, selling over 350,000 items ranging from gold earrings to chain necklaces. With projected revenue exceeding £9.2 million this year, the company is poised for further growth, eyeing the opening of high street shops, with Cardiff likely to be the first location.
However, Jenkins acknowledges that the journey from a small startup to an eight-figure business has been arduous, requiring dedication and perseverance. She encourages aspiring entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams relentlessly, emphasizing that hard work and determination can lead to remarkable achievements.
Another Welsh entrepreneur recognized on the Forbes list is Dr Sioned Fôn Jones, co-founder and CEO of BoobyBiome, a biotech startup focused on infant health. Dr Jones expressed gratitude for the recognition while acknowledging the invaluable contributions of women who have supported BoobyBiome's mission.
The achievements of Jenkins and Dr Jones underscore the innovative spirit and entrepreneurial talent thriving in Wales, inspiring others to pursue their ambitions and make a meaningful impact on society.
