In this timely and insightful episode of the HerStory Podcast, Kylie King is joined by Emelia Mosiejewski, the Victorian Regional Sales Manager for Zeller. Navigating a non-traditional career path, from a COVID-era graduation to an unexpected freight-forwarding sales gig and a brief stint in law school Emilia found her true calling in the fast-paced world of financial technology. Today, she leads a rapidly growing, multicultural team of account executives helping Australian small-to-medium businesses reclaim control of their finances.
Emilia breaks down how Zeller serves as a transparent, Aussie-made alternative to the traditional “Big Four” banks. With local branches closing rapidly across regional areas, Zeller acts as a vital financial lifeline and an easy one-stop shop for micro-businesses, market stallholders, and enterprise franchises alike. Emilia and Kylie dive into the undeniable value of old-school, face-to-face human interaction in a modern business landscape increasingly flooded with detached AI automation.
