Karen Robertson is a strategic education and impact leader with more than 30 years’ experience across education, government and the not‑for‑profit sector. She has built her career leading large‑scale programs, organisational transformation and cross‑sector innovation, with a focus on improving outcomes for children, young people and families.
So Sue O’Malley & I were wrapped that Karen was able to join us on our most recent On My Couch as we explored her own journey, her “why” in education & leadership, leading a federated model based organization, life lessons & insights.
A very genuine, open and authentic conversation which we both got a lot out of!
