I am one of the co-founders of Press Play, running programs for remarkable entrepreneurs in women-led tech startups.

I work with passionate social entrepreneurs across Australia and the South Pacific, helping them to grow their business and their impact. We focus on creating strong business models, compelling value propositions, fast prototypes, clever tests, profitable financials, healthy team cultures and measurable social outcomes.More importantly, we help people navigate tough decisions and uncertainty, reshaping their business and their mindset.Here are some recent examples:Guria: A growth accelerator program for established businesses, our aim is to double sales and double profits within 12 months, without doubling your workload.Accelerate With IBA: In partnership with Indigenous Business Australia, we work with First Nations business owners to strengthen and grow their companies, building wealth, resilience and their social impact.YuMi Tourism Partners: An accelerator for entrepreneurs across the South Pacific who want to form new partnerships and develop new product offerings.Consulting: I’m often brought in to help not for profit organisations and institutions as they design and test new business ideas; from concept through to pilot.Coaching: I walk the journey alongside business owners as they continue their implementation, often for several years, as their companies evolve and respond to changes in the marketplace.

I am the lead facilitator for two subjects: Startup Ideation and Entrepreneurial Mindsets. These are programs for students wanting to learn how to generate, test, develop and pitch new business ideas. Many students end up running a version of their startups after the program has concluded, and we receive consistently high feedback scores each semester.

Evander Strategy works with entrepreneurs and teams to design, build and grow good companies.We run accelerator programs, strategy overhauls, engaging workshops and transformative coaching sessions.We’re here to make it easier to build a meaningful business.

I work across a range of projects in places like Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Myanmar and India. Each project runs for 18-36 months as we design, pilot and establish new businesses, with the mission of lifting hundreds of smallholder farming families out of extreme poverty.Here are some examples:Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea – establishing a coffee growing program that trains new and existing coffee farmers, helping them boost their yields and secure better prices for their harvests.Halmahera, Indonesia – redesigning a cassava processing factory to boost their capacity and revenue streams, as well as exploring new industries and business models for local farmers to supply.Bihar, India – partnering with local agribusinesses and the Australian Government to run pilots and trials of new farming models, giving smallholders access to mechanisation, higher quality inputs and 50% higher incomes.Myanmar – identifying opportunities for value chain improvements in the pulse industry, although this work has been affected by COVID-19.

Servants is a fantastic, self-sustaining organisation dedicated to providing good housing and great communities for those who are homeless or struggle with severe mental illness. I ran the day-to-day finances of the organisation, reporting directly to the CEO. I also oversaw special projects, working alongside our Ops Manager.

I worked in ANZ's Strategy & Performance sector, both in Collections and Credit Assessment. It was a great place to learn how to be effective and diligent, and gave me amazing experience in designing and reviewing financials.My role was to design, review and roll out new projects across our division. Working with a huge variety of senior stakeholders, I ensured that all projects were delivered punctually and had a positive, measurable impact for the team.I also developed new reporting systems for senior managers, and represented our division at ANZ Open Days.
