Winitha Bonney Thought Leader in the future of work and women of colour in leadership
When I was 15 years old, I started a Certificate II in Small Business at Highschool. A predominantly arts student, I instantly fell in love with how Business can be used to turn ideas into things. To me, it was and still is magic.
At 17 I created a prototype (my first business) and pitched it. Even at that tender age, I knew it was better to create a prototype, test it, generate orders, get cash and then build. As a result, I won a state award out of over 96 other entrants.
At Uni, I found a 'gap' in the system and I went for it. I completed an Adv.Dip International Trade AND a Ba.Business (Distinction) in 3.5 years when it takes 4 years to complete one-degree program.
Despite these achievements, I believed I was 'stupid' due to my low grades in Highschool. That was until I cracked a transport economics formula that my University Professor (who also consulted for large companies for big dollars) couldn't crack.
I have over 20 years experience working in complex corporate, Government and for-purpose environments in senior management roles (Australia and North America). I have also successfully started over four businesses (whilst working full time).
I am fascinated by innovation, design thinking, maker spaces, accelerators, incubators, co-working, lean startup, peer-2-peer leadership, high performance, and psychology.
I am an expert in the future of work and the advancement of women of colour in leadership and entrepreneurship. I believe in hard work and ideas.
