Beating The Odds: Survivor, Entrepreneur, Inspiration

In line with World Cancer Day, we speak to Malisse Tan, who moved from an 8-year stint at Meltwater to creating her own subscription-based sustainable period product company, BOBBLE and working as Chief Strategy Officer for the Academy for Corporate Entrepreneurship. She is currently 2 years in remission from Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and she joins us to discuss her journey with cancer, as well as how companies can better prepare for and accommodate employees going through similar difficulties.
