Jillian is unique for her regional and international experience at the intersection of infrastructure, business and public policy. Jillian is a Civil Engineer, and her first consultancy, The Infrastructure Collaborative, was established a decade ago as a boutique advisory firm for shifting infrastructure projects from planning shelves to be shovel-ready. She is now Managing director of The Stable, a consultancy firmly fixed in their pursuit to create change in Regional Australia. In 2018, Jillian launched a social impact enterprise, The Exchange, with a focus on community, coworking, and ensuring the commercial success of startups and small businesses. This endeavour saw Jillian rescue and renovate two empty heritage buildings in Dubbo and Narrabri, converting them into thriving regional hubs. Jillian was the Young Engineer of the Year (2010), Stanford University Inspirational Speaker (2016), NSW/ACT Rural Woman of the Year (2018).
