The serious business woman on Shark Tank, the woman covered in mud on Survivor, a guest on popular tv shows, hosting a podcast, writing a book – these are all the versions that make ‘me’.

I grew up in the outer suburbs of Victoria, my passion was to travel the world, I knew that there was more to life than the little suburb I was living in. This adventure took me from being a camp counselor in San Francisco to being a nanny in France and a stewardess on David Bowie’s yacht. Returning to Australia, I met and married ‘the one’ and we founded Boost Juice in 2000.

Boost Juice bars is one of the largest juice bars in the world.  With over 500 stores in 14 countries. My vision was to “do retailing differently”, delivering a unique customer experience based on the “love life” philosophy and along the way getting more fruit and vegetables in people’s diet, which we are achieving, with over 2 million smoothies or juices sold every month.

I feel honoured to have received numerous retail, franchise and business awards including Telstra Business Women of the Year, Amex Retailer of the Year, Awarded Exporter of the Year and BRW named me one of fifteen people to have helped change the way Australia does business over the last 35 years.
