Katie Freeman - Investor, Advisor & Advocate for Women Entrepreneurs

Kate is an absolute firecracker but with all the smarts! After growing up in the suburbs of Melbourne, Kate didn't really like school, or try hard, until she hit year 11 when one of her teachers told her to shape up, or she wouldn't pass, and so she tried, and ended up winning an academic award! This was followed by a short stint t RMIT studying PR, before she was offered a role at J Walter Thompson. From there, she headed to London and worked there for 4 years, honing her skills in marketing and comms in some amazing roles. She returned to Australia and started working with NAB, which she credits as being her 'career role'. She stayed for 11 years and worked with some extraordinary women doing some amazing things. After NAB, she went on to work within Xero, and was in marketing for Futurli until the pandemic hit. That has spurred her on to work with scale-up ventures founded by women, offering advice, angel investing and consulting to several women-focused entrepreneur organisations. Kate is such a fun person to talk to, and is so knowledgeable. you will get a lot out of this interview! This episode is proudly sponsored by our favourite drink brand, Bondi Chai Latte.
