I am a founder, educator and change manager committed to driving economic and social progress in rural Australia. Through my company, Go Remote Pty Ltd, I lead initiatives that create meaningful employment opportunities, support business growth and strengthen regional communities.
With a passion for fostering innovation and connection, I work with senior leaders, SMEs and individuals across rural Australia to build capacity, enhance economic resilience and create pathways to long term prosperity. My work is deeply rooted in impact, aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goal 8 - Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
Recognised as a national leader in regional economic development, I have been honored with awards including the COSBOA National Small Business Champion and the AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award. Through my ventures, I am dedicated to ensuring that rural Australians have the same access to opportunity as their metropolitan counterparts, creating a future where geography is no barrier to success.
This project stems from my unwavering commitment to breaking down employment barriers in regional Australia. By white labelling Pointer Remote’s technology, we enable organisations to customise job boards that serve niche sectors, such as agriculture and regional development. This initiative is about removing roadblocks to employment and ensuring that businesses can tap into incredible regional talent.
Inspired by the need to support brilliant rural businesses in accessing the funding required to scale, Invest Rural is a project aimed at bridging the investment gap for regional entrepreneurs. Co-founders Claire Bull and Dave Lillo-Trynes bring a wealth of experience and networks to this initiative, delivering workshops, investor events and strategic guidance to connect rural businesses with venture capital, debt finance, angel investors and family office funding. We are ensuring that regional businesses are not just sustainable but thriving, growing and creating long term economic impact.
