Innovate for greater impact
Michelle J Castaneda
I help individuals & organisations grow,
innovate & thrive
My Work
Strategist. Business Consultant. Entrepreneur.
As a strategic advisor and business consultant I work with executives, leaders and organisations to help bring a fresh approach to growing your impact.
With an array of corporate, for-purpose and government experience over 20 years across varied industries (including international aid and development, education and financial services) I am known for being a dynamic force leading collaboratively across areas of strategy, team development and operational excellence. My work portfolio spans leading organisations such as World Vision, NSW Government and the Commonwealth Bank.
I am passionate about the nexus of business/impact and exploring how innovation and technology can positively change our world.
I hold multi-disciplinary qualifications with a Bachelor in Economics (Soc.Sci.), an MBA in Social Impact (AGSM) and a Graduate Diploma in Computing & IT. I also hold membership with the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD).
My Life
Together with my wonderful husband, our children and cavoodle, we call Australia home. I drink copious amounts of tea, love exploring our local backyard and travelling the globe. So far my travel adventures have spanned Asia, USA, Europe, Middle East & the Pacific Islands. Learning more languages is also on the list - now that I have finished my MBA!
I care about advancing health & education, eradicating poverty and seeing a more diverse and inclusive world.
