This month celebrate International Women's Day with us and hear from inspiring guest speaker, Sarah Davidson.
Sarah Davidson’s journey is a powerful example of what happens when passion meets purpose. She started her career as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer at a top international firm.
Sarah and her partner Nic, “made the jump” when her “side project” which started off as a creative outlet grew itself into a booming business.
Out of their own personal frustrations at a gap in the market, they founded organic matcha green tea company, Matcha Maiden, in late 2014. It's a plant-based wellness brand that grew from a kitchen side-hustle into a global enterprise.
Soon after, Sarah co-founded Matcha Mylkbar, Melbourne’s celebrated plant-based cafe, redefining healthy dining and community connection. If that isn’t enough, she created an acclaimed podcast Seize the Yay, where she continues to amplify voices and ideas that challenge traditional notions of success, encouraging others to embrace joy and authenticity in their careers and lives.
Sarah’s courage to pivot from corporate law to entrepreneurship reflects the essence of empowerment, choosing a path that resonates with purpose.
Sarah's story embodies the mission of Council's Women In Business Network, celebrating women's achievements while fostering meaningful conversations about equality and opportunity.
Sarah’s story blends legal intelligence, entrepreneurial experience, and media versatility.
