A little about me

Here is a little bit of background of the journey that has led me to where I am today.

I’m KATE,

And it’s lovely to meet you.

I am the proud owner of two very different and successful businesses. My career has spanned over 22 years, in both the corporate and small business worlds, and my journey has made me the resilient, strong, confident woman I am today. I adore sales, I am passionate about supporting women in business, I thrive in a negotiation, I love public speaking but most importantly I’m fearless in the pursuit of happiness.

 The Early Days

After a highly successful and fruitful 17-year career working for powerhouse organisations such as Ticketek (TEG Live), Foxtel, Sydney FC, MGM and more, initially in marketing before moving into sales and general management roles, I decided it was finally time to spread my wings and leap into the world of entrepreneurship.

I sold two investment properties to fund the next chapter of my life and in January 2018 the first of my two businesses was born. The journey over the past six years has been anything but smooth, with many sleepless nights, but I would not change it for anything.

My Adventure and Learnings

I have met the most incredible people, learned so much, grown personally and professionally, and I am absolutely thriving in the space and freedom that being a business owner allows. The underlying theme for me has been a fierce determination to succeed and never give up. I think knowledge, experience and skills will get you so far in business but I truly believe that passion, perseverance and belief will get you to that next level.

I am so proud of everything I have achieved, and beside myself with enthusiasm about the impact that Step Up is already having with women in the workforce, and absolutely raring with energy to fulfil the plans I have for the future.

My Achievements

I am incredibly proud to have won and been nominated for a number of awards in both of my businesses since 2018 including:
