We are a diverse team of believers and optimists with a shared passion for purposeful work, who love to collaborate, and have a deep commitment to social change.

What we
live by

We thrive on empathy, kindness and generosity. At every turn, we ask ourselves if and how we can be a force for equity in a world of inequity and it starts with empathy.
We are firm believers that our differences are our strength. We strive to ensure that our community is inclusive and representative of the world we are seeking to impact.
We believe in people and the courage of their ideas. We are never afraid to explore the unknown if there is a chance to make a difference.
We leverage innovation and creativity, and optimise resources available instead of waiting for answers. We value authenticity and ingenuity.
We believe that the most intractable problems in the world can be solved collectively. We are relentless about collaboration because we know we are stronger together.

A journalist-turned-marketer-turned-business person. I’ve worked in print media, nonprofit organisations and social entrepreneurship in a variety of roles. I am an unintended entrepreneur who is determined to create lasting value.

From anti-arms trade to public policy to social entrepreneurship, my quest to build a more equitable planet, has taken me down interesting roads. Now, I’ve taken the plunge to build institutions that can bring people together to address these generational issues.
