Every year they hold their awards ceremony recognising the contribution to business by individuals in different categories. Barbara was recognised for her success with Shutta in the clumsily entitled 50 Asia’s Woman Leaders category. She was certainly in auspicious company with executives from Spotify, Hennes & Mauritz, General Motors and Ogilvy and Mather among those honoured.
Barbara is co-founder along with her partner James Shimell, of Shutta, an innovative app development company based in District 2. They met in Spain when Barbara was running her strategic business consultancy for SMEs. They moved to Saigon in 2014 and started Shutta. In two short years it has grown at an extremely impressive rate. The App has 650,000 users in 140 different countries.
Shutta is a great App, I use it personally and it is really easy and useful. It enables you to capture a still from any video stored on your phone. It doesn’t matter whether it was originally filmed on the phone or not. It works just as perfectly with film synced from a GoPro or a drone. The app enables users to keep their favourite moments as a still photo, and the results show no decrease in resolution, whatsoever. The app was initially aimed at the iPhone and grabbed the attention of Apple users throughout the world. They launched the Android version earlier this year. It is more than just an App now, they are building a real community with their Shutta Missions, which are fun contests that challenge users to capture their best moments and post the best photos to the website. Users have to follow a particular Mission Brief.
Everyone at inseasia.com would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Barbara and all the Shutta team. To find out more about this great App, visit the Shutta Website.
