Thrilled to have been selected as part of the latest cohort of AirTree Explorers!

AirTree's Explorer Program exists to help create and nurture the next generation of Angel Investors in ANZ. To bring wider diversity and inclusion to a previously old-school industry and to support brilliant founders in the early stages of their journey. The Explorer Program offers world-class insights and education on Angel Investing101, access to one of the best Angel networks throughout Australia and New Zealand, a sneak peek into internal Investment Committee meetings, and funds to invest.

Looking forward to connecting with some amazing investors and founders!

I’m delighted to have been appointed as the next

I’m delighted to have been appointed as the next Chair of the Board for fast-growing social enterprise @youngchangeagents . YCA are leading the way in youth entrepreneurship in Australia, delivering a range of education programs and pathways that develop the entrepreneurial mindset, skillset and toolset of young people aged from 10 to 25. This is a mission close to my heart!

Building on the momentum generated to date, YCA are now well positioned for rapid scaling domestically and abroad, which makes it an exciting time to be joining the organisation. I’d like to acknowledge CEO/Cofounder Margaret O'Brien and outgoing Chair Bettina Manevski for all their hard work in taking YCA from an idea to where it is today. A huge thank you also to all the partners and supporters who have been part of journey. I look forward to connecting with you all.

To reach our goal of impacting 1.5 million young people by 2025, we're looking to grow our network of volunteers who contribute their time and expertise in a range of ways, including:
· Mentoring, speaking or judging at events
· Featuring in video case studies
· Running a local YCA club
· Assisting YCA to scale

A beautiful autumn day at the @nationalarboretumca

A beautiful autumn day at the @nationalarboretumcanberra made the perfect backdrop for the second meeting of the Canberra Economic Advisory Group (CEAG) today. Whilst Canberra has weathered the impacts of COVID better than expected, it's important to not become complacent. It was a rich discussion with the other CEAG members on long term economic development and diversification, including how to build on Canberra's key capabilities and position the ACT economy for success over the next 10 to 15 years.
