Chloe Macintosh

Co-Founder, Made.com and Kama

Chloe Macintosh co-founded MADE.com in 2010 with the mission to offer original design at affordable prices. As Creative Director, Chloe led the brand vision and customer proposition. She directed the collections and designer collaborations for Made together with all the marketing campaigns. Chloe’s vision created a unique and differentiating brand while building an innovating platform to revolutionise the development and distribution of home products. Made.com had 160 employees and was named the second fastest growing tech company in the UK. Made.com was also part of the Future Fifty program for high growth companies selected by the UK government.

After her time at MADE, Chloe spent 3 years as the Creative Adviser and Chief Creative Officer for Soho House and now leads Kama, a business she founded which is “building the sex, love, and intimacy superbrand of the future”. Chloe launched their sexual wellbeing app which brings together modern science and other evidence based practices into easy-to-follow daily practices. Kama is on a mission to cultivate more love in the world and enhance human connection by improving and supporting intimacy.

Chloe was born in Paris but has lived in London for the past 16 years. Her career in design spurred from her early training in Architecture, previously working as an Associate Partner in Norman Foster’s London practice for 10 years. In 2007, Chloe joined Brent Hoberman at interiors brand mydeco where she lead the mydeco Design Board, and collaborated with Philippe Starck, Marc Newson and Terence Conran on design projects.

Chloe Macintosh has been fantastic to speak to. Being a woman entrepreneur is incredibly challenging, particularly when you have a young family to raise as well, but despite all these challenges life throws at us, we women are still able to focus on what’s most important – the work and life balance.”

Chloe was a charismatic mixture of a doer and a carer- she took time to listen to me and was generous with her insights and advice. She is the type of person that you want to try to work hard to earn the respect of, and then enjoy keeping it once you have!

Thank you so much! Meeting Chloe really helped me to focus on our team, how to set clear objectives, building relationships and hiring for attitude not aptitude. All in all, I gained a huge amount from the meeting!
