She was recently the CEO of a $100M construction company - only to pivot and choose her current social enterprise 90DegreesGlobal. No wonder, she has again been nominated, for the Australian Telstra Business Woman of the Year Award!
Ryll Burgin-Doyle is the accumulation of having started her self-development journey early. This doesn't mean it has been all roses and sunshine for her but rather, that she has taken risks most are too afraid to take and created non-profits like StepUp that create impact in her community and beyond.
