Diving in: Danielle Vermeer departs Amazon for fashion technology startup Teleport

Danielle Vermeer has left her “dream job” leading resale fashion CX at Amazon for life at a fashion tech startup.

She is now Co-founder and CEO at Teleport, a social commerce app to share and shop outfit videos in a Gen Z driven community (think TikTok and Depop combined).

In a Twitter post, she said: “I believe the future of fashion is where content, community and (re)commerce collide.”

“Younger consumers want a “third space” online to express their authentic style and to shop cute clothes from trusted peers. I’m obsessed with making this vision a reality.”

Vermeer added: “We believe that fashion is more than just the clothes you wear. It's a way to express your unique style, get inspired and make genuine connections in a niche community.”

We added serious firepower to the Teleport team. Welcome Danielle as co-founder & CEO.https://t.co/69XzSXiuoD https://t.co/VazaBcty9U
