She first sold her 51.5 per cent stake of her beauty brand to the ASX listed beauty conglomerate for $89million in 2021. But just two years later, Zoë and Go-To co-founder Paul Bates bought back their controlling stake in the business for a fraction of the price at $21.
8million after BWX collapsed into administration in April 2023 . Reflecting on the turbulent time earlier this year, Zoe admitted she felt 'deeply out of her depth' with the deal because there is no 'handbook' for finding the right investor. 'How did you know when it was the right time? How did you know they were the right partner? Because there's no handbook,' she told the Financial Review .
She said she felt 'maternal' towards Go-To and did everything she could to save the business after the BWX deal unraveled. 'There's nothing like seeing your baby in trouble to get you going, I was like, "I'm here, I'll protect my baby at any cost", I felt very maternal, nothing has fortified me like this has,' she said. 'Thinking that I might be out of the company next year [as per the original BWX deal] is now unfathomable, I'm swinging way back in.
