Elodie Dupuy, Co-Founder of Full In Partners commented "At Full In, we aspire to work arm-in-arm with management teams to take generational companies to new heights. After my stint on the board a few years ago, I've told everybody I could about how Vinted is an outlier business and am thrilled to partner with the team once again."

"With the team, we developed a turnaround strategy that saved the business and took us to a market-leading position in Europe.
