Where strategy meets social impact

My Work

Executive Leader & Strategic Operator  .  Business Advisor  .  Career Coach

Michelle J Castaneda · Strategy Advisor & Consultant Sydney

I partner with business owners and professionals to build strategies that drive performance, purpose and lasting impact.

​

You're ambitious, values-driven and ready to make your mark. But the path from intention to impact isn't always clear.

​

That's where I come in.

​

I'm Michelle - a strategy advisor, business consultant and career coach who helps entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals cut through complexity and build something that truly matters.

​

Whether you're scaling a business or navigating your next career move, I bring the strategic edge and cross-sector experience to help you move forward with clarity and purpose.

​

Over 20+ years I've held senior management and leadership roles across some of Australia's most respected organisations leading transformation, from the Commonwealth Bank and NSW Government to World Vision and the Salvation Army. That rare mix of corporate rigour, social sector heart and government perspective is what I bring to every client engagement.

​​

I hold a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) in Social Impact from AGSM - UNSW Business School, and that lens shapes everything I do. I've always believed the most powerful businesses and careers don't choose between growth and good - they achieve both.

​​

If you're ready to innovate for growth and good -  let's talk.

My Life

Together with my husband and our children, 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 education, eradicating poverty and seeing a more inclusive and diverse world.
