Our MC

Sally has a background working at the highest levels of politics, public affairs, communications and public relations and you honestly won’t find a better communicator or connector in the land. Sally’s superpower is in taking complex information and distilling and communicating it in a way that is easy to process and understand. This is the most underrated skill of being a master of ceremonies. 

Aside from Sally’s extraordinary career (which included time as press secretary to the Prime Minister, and heading up US Government public affairs in Australian diplomacy), she is a genuinely good human being. She has a fierce passion for people and for being of service and has this incredible knack for making everyone in her presence feel like the most important person in her world.
