As the use of third parties to deliver critical business rises, so does your cyber risk. 29% of all breaches are due to third party attacks, with the breaches commonly harder to prevent and detect on time, given the interconnectivity of modern businesses with their vendors. The Trans – Tasman Business Circle and our Partner Skylight Cyber Security invite you to join our panel of speakers to explore practical steps on how to mitigate these rising risks for businesses and vendors on Tuesday 25th June in Sydney.

I am inspired, thankful and excited about the future of #financialservices, #womenintech and #inclusivity. So blessed for the opportunity to share my experiences and Immersive tech journey with the amazing Women Leaders by the Circle delegates as part of the impactful “Thrive: The Women’s Leadership Series" by the Trans - Tasman Business Circle. It happens to be the 4th year anniversary since I founded my own company, V-Engage. A special thank you to everyone who joined our roundtable lunch yesterday and sharing your inspiring stories too. I am so excited to have met a pioneering group of women leaders whom I am looking forward to connecting with and continuing our conversations! Please reach out anytime. Condensing 8 years into a 15-min presentation made it a great opportunity to reflect on how fast this space has advanced throughout the years from bringing virtual Alexander Hamilton to the Singapore Innovation Centre and the BNY Mellon AR/VR Experience app to VR engagement experiences and virtual communities like Meiava World by V-Engage today! I am deeply grateful to a true champion of empowerment of female leaders Tanya Oziel for hosting me, founder of V-Engage, along with my partners at Meta's Reality Labs team at the session yesterday. Most importantly for her encouragement and advocacy of Women in Tech (and much, much more) - an experience I will never forget and will pass on to others with and after me. Tanya, thank you, for showing me/us the true meaning of 'setting others up for success'. While I am already at the second stage of my career, I am still a rookie when it comes to my entrepreneurial journey. I can't thank you enough Vanessa Liell (Co-Founder of Orizontas) who led me to Tanya and the future-forward change-making Trans - Tasman Business Circle team. Since the first post lockdown coffee chat with Vanessa, my returnee life has flourished because of her continuous support and connections. Vanessa is the growth mindset in human form and her modesty despite her multitude of entrepreneurial achievements truly inspires earlier stage entrepreneurs like me. Thanks to Anna Whitlam for connecting us back then. I also felt humbled to have had the support and attendance of Mimi Lee, founder of Meiava, and an Advisor of V-Engage. Greatly appreciative of your continuous guidance, friendship-mentorship, calmness and support throughout and thank you Anna Tehan for connecting us. Thank you to Claire Weekes and Rehan Wickremeratne from the Meta Reality Labs team for sharing the latest and hosting us at your Barrangaroo office over catered lunch alongside the MXC XR demos. A gigantic shout out to the broader Trans - Tasman Business Circle team especially everyone who made yesterday's event a success Maddison Holland, Luke Henderson and Tanya Jovanovic.
