Alongside being an alum of the University, Rosemary is an Enterprise Professor at the Faculty of Business and Economics with a career traversing the public and private sectors – from practicing law in two hemispheres, leading federal government innovation, and heading up the strategy for global initiatives and market building.

She is the Founding Managing Partner of Mondiale Impact, Executive Director of Impact Strategist, Chair of Climate Ready Australia 2030 and the Sweef Capital Board of Advisors, Ambassador for the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment, Member of a World Bank Steering Group for Innovative Finance, and Non-Executive Director Indigenous Business Australia.

Rosemary and Medo discuss how corporations and other organisations can foster diversity and inclusion and how stakeholders can be a force for positive change.
