Deena Varshavskaya is Founder and CEO of Wanelo ("wah-nee-lo," from Want, Need, Love), a global platform for shopping organized around people. Originally from Siberia, Deena launched her first web startup straight out of college, only to learn that she loved designing websites, but knew nothing about design. She then pursued UX design working for a social network and later opened a design agency. After realizing the need for a radically different shopping experience that empowers the individual, Deena launched Wanelo in 2010. Today, Wanelo is a marketing-free shopping environment with hundreds of thousands of stores and is a growing movement of millions of people.
