Lisa knew she'd have to fulfil her career ambitions by taking a less traditional route - living in rural Queensland when all the action was in the city.
Lisa created her own career path, building her ESG consultancy firm the Caffrey Group that saw her working with CEO's and Boards, and finding solutions to motherhood and rural life.
Now one of only 14% of Female Chairs in Australia, Lisa shares with us her role in ensuring consensus across the Board, the responsibility she has to the people of Queensland for its most precious resource, water, and how she works with the CEO and stakeholders.
Lisa is passionate about bringing opportunities to rural and remote areas and shares a number of brilliant projects she is involved in from Digital Centres for First Nations people that include meaningful employment and STEM education centres for country kids.
Growth and equity is certainly afoot with a leader like Lisa behind it.
