Kate Reid: On Fast Cars and Croissants

  • Talk
  • Events

Join Lune Croissanterie's founder as she shares the details of her journey from F1 engineer to international croissant queen.

At 13, Kate Reid already knew exactly where she was headed: a career in Formula 1 and a life lived at full throttle. But after earning a degree in aerospace engineering and taking up a coveted position at one of the top F1 teams in the UK, she discovered that the reality didn’t match what she’d dreamed. So, she made a swerve no one expected: to forge a career in pastry.

With her Melbourne-born bakery Lune Croissanterie now famous worldwide, Reid sits down to reflect on her unique path, from initially pursuing aerospace engineering at RMIT University, to following her lifelong passion for F1 racing, to finding fame as the mastermind behind ‘the best croissant in the world’ (The New York Times).

Join Reid as she discusses perfection, obsession and making her own kind of success story, with host Alice Zaslavsky.
