** I am hiring for a focused version of my role at LUNA - see the Program Director JD on LinkedIn ** I have the great pleasure of running Labs at LUNA. Labs brings together LUNA's unique insights across the startup ecosystem to offer tailored consulting and education services that enhance capability, capacity and innovation.Our work ranges from strategic and hands-on consulting to designing and delivering workshops, programs and experiences for founders, startups, incubators and accelerators, through to large-scale corporates, universities, and government partners. I've recently finished facilitating the fourth cohort of our inaugural Startup Board Course for founders and ecosystem professionals - a course that I developed end-to-end, and which features experts from LUNA as well as the ecosystem more broadly. The impact of the Course on participants has been incredible, with those having completed it experiencing an increase in knowledge, practice and confidence. We're elated to be supporting founders, investors and the ecosystem with this Course - check it out: https://www.weareluna.co/about-board-course.My experience before joining LUNA spans 15+ years in roles such as Corporate Finance at Macquarie, Strategy and Finance at Westpac, and investor relations, communications, governance, sustainability, and consulting, plus founding my own businesses and working with startups, both in Australia and the UK.Across these roles I’ve spent my career directly supporting CEOs, Founders, management teams and boards in strategy and strategic activities (including M&A et al); strategic investor relations, communications, reporting and engagement; company secretarial and corporate governance; stakeholder engagement; and, designing and facilitating programs, workshops, events and experiences, and more.My breadth of experience from startups to large scale mature businesses is something I truly value, and one of my favourite elements of this is being able to take helpful practices from both which can benefit the other.And ultimately, this is all stitched together by my great loves and passions: nature, people, wellness, and community, and doing more responsible business to enable systems change for the better.If you'd like to work with me and the team, we'd love to work with you - please get in touch.
