I believe we’re living in one of the most important times in human history. Now is our time to change the status quo.
We have an opportunity to create more impact in the world than we ever thought possible.
I believe the old paradigm of accumulating wealth and then giving back is outdated. We are in the middle of a massive shift toward socially responsible business and building a regenerative future.
We can use business as a vehicle to create positive change and live a life infused with meaning, purpose and contribution.
My mission is to empower the next generation of children, while inspiring more entrepreneurs to make their highest contribution and leave a legacy of change.
Together, we can create a new story for humanity.
My Story
I’ll never forget when I discovered my purpose. In 2005, I was building a tech start up, flying back to Australia from San Francisco. One day, I tuned into a Stanford lecture that would forever change my life.
The lecture hosted an entrepreneur speaking about the critical need to create systems change in areas of food, water, energy, health and education. What he said struck me so deeply. It made sense to me that the world’s biggest problems were actually the world’s biggest opportunities.
I realised from then on, my career would mean nothing if I wasn’t truly doing work that mattered.
I wanted to be part of the solution. It ignited my lifelong dream and commitment to make a meaningful contribution to the health and wellbeing of people and the planet.
As a mother, my deepest desire is to create a brighter future for our children.
I believe we have all the power and responsibility to create a better world for future generations.
Years from now, I believe our children will look back at us and ask what we did to make the world a better place.
My work is devoted to finding ways to shift, more rapidly, to a future that’s sustainable and regenerative.
One where business and society shift toward a new shared purpose - greater wellbeing on a healthy planet.
