She helps women build businesses that honour how they're uniquely wired, so they can scale authentically without burning out.

She backs her work with research and draws on a background in sales across the founder, fitness and SaaS spaces. Having grown up with two founder parents, building businesses is in her blood. Her book, [FE]MALE-CENTRED, is forthcoming with Clark & Mackay.
Serena lives in Sydney's Northern Beaches with her husband and her cutie pup Wilbur.
