During her time spent working at the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, she
witnessed first-hand how creating jobs and providing a sustainable solution for
the poorest in the world had a monumental impact on families and communities.
The idea of establishing an ethical fashion house that focused on social
development and empowering women in developing countries had interested
Ayesha for a few years as it combined her two interests: Fashion and
Philanthropy. It wasn’t until August 2010 however, after extensive research and
traveling, that she left her job to turn her dream into reality.
Before launching Fashion ComPassion, Ayesha worked as a marketing
professional at Pepsi Co UK, where she looked after retail & online retail
accounts like Waitrose and Ocado in addition to marketing the Pepsi Co-brand
portfolio to key retailers. Before that, she worked in PR and Communications
and had a short stint of working at a New York law firm.
Not only has she been a successful businesswoman, but she is also
extremely academic with a BA in Politics & Economics from Mount Holyoke
College, Massachusetts U.S.A, and Masters in Media & Communications from
City University, London. When asked what the biggest challenge of her career
so far has been she didn’t mention a specific event but went on to say: ‘I have
always wanted to be the BEST in whatever I do and set very high standards for
myself. This work ethic has caused an imbalance with my work and life and I
have missed out on a few personal occasions due to work.’ This search for
excellence and consistently high standards has enabled her to succeed in
everything she has put her mind to.
