Emma Isaacs

Business Chicks Founder and CEO Emma Isaacs has built Australia’s largest community for women to be bold and courageous risk-takers. 

Previously, Emma ran her own recruitment company for seven years, before she was scouted by event organisation Business Chicks. Hearing the business was for sale, Emma took a leap of faith and bought the company. Since then, she has grown the business into a passionate community with thousands of engaged and ambitious women.

With over 100 events organised each year, plus its own magazine publication, Business Chicks facilitates thousands of connections every day for its dedicated followers. Emma helped to expand the company into the US when she moved to California with her family in 2016.

Since 2018, Emma is also a published author. Her new book ‘Winging It’ seeks to empower readers to “Stop Thinking, Start Doing”, and also provides crucial career advice on building a business while prioritising your personal life.

A business leader and role model, Emma has worked with some of the world’s greatest leaders, including Sir Richard Branson, Bill Gates, and Arianna Huffington.

She also lends her leadership skills for various organisations, including as a past president of the Entrepreneurs Organisation. Emma is also passionate about philanthropy and charity work, raising over $13 million for numerous charities around the world.

In her spare time, Emma mentors the next generation of female entrepreneurs and business owners.

A highly sought-after keynote presenter, Emma Isaacs has been inspiring audiences around the world to succeed in their professional careers while still enjoying their personal lives.
