Marie Swarbreck

Founder, FLEXImums

Hong Kong

Marie Swarbreck is an experienced communication and recruitment specialist; she started her career as an International Correspondent with the South China Morning Post, International Herald Tribune & The Asahi Shimbun meeting business leaders across Asia, Middle East, Europe and Canada. She studied in Belgium, France and USA specialising in Communications, Events and International Business Management.

Her extensive traveling (and her fiancée) brought her back to HK in 2010. Driven by building relationships and connecting people, Marie started building her network as the Communications & Business Development Manager at Eurovet, the leading Lingerie and Swimwear trade fair organiser with shows in Paris, Hong Kong and Shanghai.

After her daughter Arabelle was born in Hong Kong during 2014, she found herself in need of flexible yet challenging work and little to no options to choose from. In between juggling a few jobs and raising Arabelle, Marie realised many parents in Hong Kong are talented professionals who would jump at the opportunity to work a flexible yet fulfilling job and a better work-life balance.

This was the beginning of a new adventure, the birth of FLEXImums.

FLEXImums connects employers who offer flexibility, whether it’s full-time work with flexi-hours, work-from-home or part-time work, job-share or any other form of flexibility with mothers looking for flexible positions.
