As co-founder and award-winning CEO of creative technology company Zebrar, Simone Clow has been on a mission since 2017 to push the boundaries of what’s possible. After a long career in advertising and visual effects in London and New York (Saturday Night Live, HBO), I was managing a Sydney VFX studio, working on VFX shots for feature film Hacksaw Ridge. The job and team she had built were fantastic but felt her use-by date as a woman in the production industry was closing in.

Determined to control her own exit she left her job for a year producing experiential content for motor shows around the world and found her purpose and a great second act in unexpected circumstances.

A virtual reality team she worked with convinced her to don a VR headset in 2016 which she thought was for young gamers and it transformed her thinking and created a new business.


Simone is a friend and a member of our Powerful Steps Community.  She is a powerhouse connector and is not afraid to back herself in business and life.





This is an episode which will excite and empower you.





Much love,
