"My Mum is my Hero" - Malkah Lara-Muckenschnabl

If Malkah wasn’t a Relationship Credit Analyst, she would use her love of problem solving be an entrepreneur. Oli and Malkah chat about her unique upbringing, moving throughout South America, Europe and Australia which is absolutely fascinating. Her Mum (also her hero) actually started a career as a professional tennis player before going back to her roots in agriculture.Malkah was always exposed to agriculture, but she didn't necessarily always know that it was the career path she wanted to pursue. Now, she is immersed in the corporate ag world and spends her free time developing Lymbo, an app that’s putting a creative twist on connecting employers and employees. “Firstly, I love a challenge. And I think that I thrive off actually building something, like I'm very creative in that sense. And I just once I think about a problem, I just really want to fix it... And I think this problem just really stuck with me."
