The Young Professionals Podcast (TYPP), proudly brought to you by ADAPT Careers (https://adaptcareers.com.au) and co-hosted by Luke Marriott and Nicholas Sargeant (Sarge).
Today we chat to Patrick Stafrace, corporate affairs consultant, campaign strategist, non-executive director based in Melbourne, working closely with governments, NGOs and companies to manage political and regulatory risks affecting their operations.
Pat completed a Bachelor of Arts and Commerce at Deakin University (https://www.deakin.edu.au/course/bachelor-commerce-bachelor-arts), while also working as a journalist. Pat moved to human rights advocacy and eventually to news corp, where he worked on a national advocacy campaign promoting regional issues during the 2016 federal election. After being awarded the New Colombo Plan Scholarship (https://www.dfat.gov.au/people-to-people/new-colombo-plan/scholarship-program/scholarship-program), Pat relocated to Jakarta, where he worked as a government affairs advisor for 2 years. Now the co-founder of a not-for-profit promoting partnerships between young Australians and South-East Asians, Pat certainly has his fingers in many pies, all working towards fantastic causes.
