Iouana Pillay, Executive Director
Global Chamber® Seychelles
Iouana, Mary-pat PILLAY-DEISS is a young entrepreneur born on August 14, 1988. Her business named ‘Naturelle Trading’ came into existence in 2014 and is located at the Espace building. The business specialises in the trading of quality hotel products such as bed sheet linens, towels and so on. The second trading field of the business is locally produced souvenirs. The main aim of Naturelle is to bring in quality products and services in the country with the motto ‘Quality at a Good Price’. Iouana has an outgoing and energetic personality, and she pays attention to details and can work well under pressure and within short deadlines. She is an excellent team player and she enjoys cooking, meeting people and brainstorming for new ideas. Iouana has worked with Flawless Seychelles Limited in 2006, a jewellery company which primarily sells diamond crafted jewelleries from South Africa. She worked with the company for five years and has acquired considerable experience in sales, stock taking, management and especially in marketing / public relations.
Her exposure in public relations with the company has provided her with a penchant for meeting people and interacting with them on both personal and professional level. She has also been a fashion model with the Mangouya Agency for several years and has taken part in numerous fashion shows locally with international exposure in countries such as South Africa and Mauritius. In 2012 she decided to work full time with Mangouya Studio, developing its public relations strategy and taping new markets for the locally made souvenirs. Later in 2013 she decided to change her line of work thus she was assigned by her parents to run a cafeteria at the Maritime School. A year later Iouana felt the urge to develop her own business as she believes to have retrieved enough work experience to start her own venture. Iouana is from Ma Joie. She has one daughter and the two people in her life who support her most are her father Walter Pillay and her better half Patrick Deiss. She was also elected chairperson of the Seychelles Association of Women Entrepreneur (SAWE) in 2014.
