Jo brings 20 years working in communications, marketing and events. She has worked both sides of the fence, with a potent mix of agency and client side experience in companies based in London and Sydney for global businesses including VW, Virgin Mobile and Unilever. For the last 10 years she has invested her skills in environmental and social impact projects working with organisations including YouTube, Sydney Festival, Garage Sale Trail, Dyson, VIVID and The Royal Botanic Gardens.
For the last 5 years she has run her own not for profit initiative, Responsible Cafes, and still continues to grow the impact through strategic partnerships and behaviour change campaigns, driving awareness to eliminate single-use plastic. On the side she is a mother, children’s book author, illustrator and musician and in her former life – a classically trained singer.
Jo is a non stop thinker, with a mind for creative problem solving and a passion for leading transformation projects from conception through to activation.
