The BRG's purpose is to shift the way people experience life and is at the forefront of digital disruption for experiences in Australia; delivering material value to business partners, its brands and stakeholders. It now serves an experience every minute, which means BRG turns over more than $100m - that is a lot of customers we send to our experience suppliers.
According to a recent Hitwise study BRG is purported to be the third largest experience gifting business in the world.
As a shark on Shark Tank Australia I have a passion for innovation; I'm a business and thought-leading blogger at naomisimson.com; keynote speaker and best-selling author. I am driven to shift the way people experience life.
Last century I worked for big brands - IBM, Apple, KPMG and Ansett Airlines - all of which have influenced who I am today. I am also a Governor of the Cerebral Palsy Research Foundation and a director of the University of Melbourne Faculty of Business and Economics.
I am a passionately curious individual, known to ask frequent and tough questions that challenge the status quo.
I believe:
- Being a business owner takes bravery
- Passion, persistence, positivity and purpose = success
- Businesses that look after the well being of their people, stakeholders and community, thrive
- People flourish when they feel connected and recognised
- What I learn is better shared.
