As the cliché has it, some of us are born entrepreneurs. Born to Kosovan parents and raised in Austria, Fjolla brings the Mediterranean warmth and humour to her Austrian identity and education with a positivity that is almost spiritual and most certainly infectious.

In the last couple of years Fjolla toyed with an idea of building a unique virtual travelling experience. Yet the everyday running of Brand Embassy emptied her of time and energy. When events came to a stop during Covid crisis, so did her business. Yet Fjolla did not stop. She founded dayholi, the first worldwide company with the technology to beam people into events and places with 360 degree live stream and 8K quality including smell and wind sensations.
