Join GovConnex's Michael Evangelidis & William Wright as they run through the key lessons from last months federal election. FiftyAcres CEO Jo Scard and long time personal friend of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will join the pair to answer all the important questions about:
- The new cabinet
- Dealing with a Labor government
- The prime minister
- Handling a large cross-bench
- The big policy changes to expect this term
When it comes to female leaders in corporate Australia, you would be hard-pressed to find someone with a resume as accomplished and diverse as the brilliant Jo Scard. Jo is the founder and CEO of Fifty Acres, Australia’s leading for-purpose communications and engagement agency for NGOs, peak bodies, social enterprises, industry associations, not-for-profits and government agencies.
Following her early career as a political adviser and journalist working in the UK and Australia with ITV, Associated Press, Seven, SBS, ABC, the British Labour Party and Fairfax, Jo moved into a consulting role at leading public affairs agency Gavin Anderson, before becoming a senior adviser to the Rudd and Gillard Governments.
In 2010, Jo established Australia’s first virtually operated strategic communications and engagement agency, with the vision to collaborate strictly with the for-good and not-for-profit sector. Jo prioritises a flexible working structure, and leads a team of ambitious women paving the way in the communications space.
