Nina Patel Trustee

Nina Patel is a global product and technology executive with two decades of experience shaping digital transformation and innovation across the luxury, retail, and consumer sectors. Her career spans consulting, startups, scaleups, and large enterprises, with senior leadership roles at The Net-a-Porter Group, Harvey Nichols, eporta, Farfetch, and currently as Director of Product at Fabacus.  She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University and an MBA from London Business School.

A consistent thread throughout Nina’s career is her commitment to women’s economic empowerment. She invests exclusively in female-founded startups, and her mentorship, advisory work, and philanthropic focus have long centred on supporting women.

Nina joined the Board of Trustees of Women for Women International in 2022 and serves as Chair of the Fundraising, Marketing & Communications Committee. Nina also serves as a Trustee of Sadler’s Wells Theatre and sits on its Development Council, and previously served as Vice Chair of Dress for Success Greater London (2015–18), advancing its mission to support women into employment.

Born in the UK to Indian parents who emigrated from East Africa, Nina moved to the United States at age 11 and later returned to the UK in 2011 to pursue her career in luxury fashion. Her international upbringing has fuelled a lifelong love of travel — now more than 70 countries across six continents — and a deep understanding of the shared challenges and resilience of women around the world.
