Creating a work life that you love doesn’t mean that you need to
head out and set up your own business. Often we hear of people who
have climbed the corporate ladder, only to hit burn out and decide
that the only way forward is to take their skills and go it on
their own.
Well today’s guest is here to share with us, how if being an
entrepreneur is not the path that you desire, there is another
way.
Olivia Ruello is the CEO of Business Chicks, stepping into the role
in 2016, when founder Emma Isaacs expanded into the US. Business
Chicks is Australia’s largest and most influential community for
women in business, committed to the personal and professional
growth of women.
Liv has had a portfolio career starting out in Industrial
Relations, before joining Business Chicks to lead their
Partnerships and Brand team, for four years from 2009. She spread
her wings in 2013 moving across to the Commonwealth Bank, where she
drove a unique leadership and culture agenda for the corporate
banking division, focused on embedding vision and values to create
a more human centric culture.
Olivia has a deep passion and sense of purpose, advocating for
women’s economic security and empowerment, advancement in
leadership roles and supporting the growth of female led
businesses.
As you’ll hear in today’s chat, Liv comes from a lineage of strong
women who have done much to support the advancement of women and it
is an absolute pleasure to have someone who I deeply admire for the
culture that she has built within the team at Business Chicks join
me to share her wisdom.
You’ll leave this conversation inspired, and with new perspective
on how you can design a life you love.
