Elyse Daniels

Board Observer

After completing a Business & Marketing degree at the University of Western Sydney, she joined the family business in promotional products full-time and while there learnt the importance of personalisation and the demand for custom products. She saw an opportunity to sell jackets that were designed by the customer and customised inside and out focusing on the leavers wear market and community groups. In August 2009 she took her first order of custom jackets and with that Exodus Wear was born.

From there it was a quick transition to full-time entrepreneur but a long journey with many ups and downs to reach the point of running a multi-million dollar. In 2017 she took her passion for video and create a YouTube Channel with weekly vlogs and how-to's and tutorials to help other people get started in video.
