Powered by Women
From top to bottom, women are at the wheel. Our Cambodia-based workshop is run almost entirely by local women - from skilled artisans to administration and production leads. In fact, 95% of our team are women, shaping everything we make and how we make it.
Co-founder and creative lead Godie launched Kingdom of Wow with a vision of sustainable craft and meaningful work. Alongside her, Tracy leads marketing with insight and heart.
With only two men on the team - Martijn, our co-owner, and Josh, our project manager - this is a company where women lead, build, and thrive.
Meet some of our colleagues!
Chantha
Head of Administration
is the quiet force behind the scenes - leading our finance, admin, and HR with calm confidence. She joined KOW in 2015 as our second-ever employee, starting as a crocheter and steadily growing into her current role.
While working full-time and raising a young family, with a little support from KOW, she earned her university degree in Finance, completing her studies while pregnant with her second child.
Today, she’s effectively the boss!
Sarout
Production Planner
brings sharp thinking and steady focus to our production planning. She joined KOW in 2020 as a seamstress.
It didn’t take long for her wit and drive to stand out. She quickly began supporting our management team, learning on the job and stepping into new responsibilities with confidence. Under Martijn’s guidance, she became an Excel whiz and mastered the ins and outs of production scheduling.
Now, she keeps our workshop running smoothly - balancing precision with a calm, can-do attitude.
Chanty
Team Leader & Admin
Joining KOW in 2016 as a crocheter, she quickly became the heart of the team. As the mater familias of the workshop, she naturally stepped into a leadership role - guiding new makers as a trainer and team leader.
Soft-spoken but steady, she’s been quietly working on her English and now supports the team with growing administrative responsibilities. Through it all, Chanty remains a pillar of our warm, caring culture - leading by example, every day.
Mony
Chief Pattern Maker
Ny joined us in 2016 as a crocheter, and quickly made her mark as the go-to woman for just about anything. A natural problem-solver with a hands-on attitude, she’s always the first to step up - whether it’s learning a new machine or bargaining at the market.
In 2019, Ny began designing espadrilles alongside Godie. Since then, she’s trained as a seamstress and pattern-maker, becoming the skilled lead of our espadrilles team. Confident, curious, and endlessly capable - Ny keeps us moving forward.
Godie
Founder & Co-owner
Godie started Kingdom of Wow in 2015 with little more than an idea and the belief that manufacturing could be done differently - with more care, more connection, and more opportunity.
Not a maker herself, Godie has always leaned on the talent of the women around her - knowing full well this is a joint effort. The artisans craft each piece with skill and care; Godie opens the doors to markets beyond. One can't succeed without the other - and that’s the point.
Nhanh
Quality Control
has been with Kingdom of Wow since the very beginning. She began her journey as a seamstress, but quickly turned her attention to mastering the art of crochet - something that didn’t come easily at first. Through determination and quiet resilience, she not only overcame the learning curve but rose to become our fastest and most skilled crocheter.
Today, Nhanh leads our Quality Control team. Nhanh is a true embodiment of our values - growth through perseverance, excellence through care, and leadership through kindness.
