“Leading leaders is a humbling experience! Serving as the President of EO Sydney taught me how to ‘lead lightly’. Everyone on the Board… in fact, everyone in the organisation was already a leader of their own business. So, I learnt how to get out of the way of amazing people. My role as a leader was to keep everyone pointed in the same direction.”
Justin Jameson, FY21 president
“The EO Community is amazing. No matter where you are in the world, you can find someone that makes you feel at home.”
Angelica Nohra, EO Sydney Member & FY23 Member Success Chair
“I joined EO Sydney in 1998. It has provided me with the confidence and the leadership skills needed to grow my business from a small local courier company to an Australian-wide light transport provider, approaching $100m in revenues. I now work with many of Australia’s leading companies as clients, including Telstra, ANZ, NAB and IBM.”
James Taylor, EO Sydney Tenured Member
“I joined EO in 2014 thinking I would only be here for a couple of years. It’s now in my blood. I love the learning, support and the wank factor (truly amazing experiences). Where else would you get a red carpet to board a chartered plane, where you eat donuts and drink champagne en-route to a fabulous retreat full of learning, fun and camaraderie! And most importantly I have developed deep friendships that sustain me.”
