Caroline Kennedy turns disruption into a decisive advantage.
A self-made CEO who led a national franchise to $250million and scaled a multinational travel organisation from $38 million to $55 million in just 18 months during the GFC, when the industry was being disrupted.
She now equips boards and C-suites to think bigger, act faster, and lead with unmistakable clarity in an AI-defined era.
For 25 years, Caroline has been where real pressure lives, running P&Ls, guiding 500-strong teams, and advising leaders at Deloitte, PwC, CBA, Wesfarmers, and high-growth tech scale-ups and government. Her neuroscience-based coaching method fuses consulting rigour with no-nonsense mentoring, producing rapid shifts in behaviour and bottom-line results.
Twice recognised by the Telstra Business Women’s Awards and named Mentor/Coach of the Year and Woman of the Year at the 2021 International STEVIE® Awards, Caroline is also the bestselling author of Lead Beyond 2030. Outlets from The CEO Magazine to The Australian Financial Review cite her straight-talking insight on leadership, AI and future-ready strategy.
Caroline’s blend of street-level tenacity and board-room acumen leaves audiences thinking: “I can do this – and here’s my first move.”
