ABOUT ANA

Ana was born in Australia in a multicultural Australian community and sporting family.  She has Croatian and German heritage and grew up with a love for the beach and great outdoors.  

Ana started basketball at age 6, played professionally in Croatia and semi professional for women division clubs in Australia.  While playing basketball, she completed a Bachelor of Arts and postgraduate studies in Psychology at University College London,

Growing up, Ana developed a fascination for the feminine form in her teenage years, having attended an all girls catholic school and playing sport alongside elite female athletes. It has never occurred to Ana that women cannot be powerful.

During her time working in large Fortune 500 companies, Ana saw first hand how women led from their masculine traits which suppressed their creativity and led them to burnout.  Ana herself had burnt out from working in these cultures.  It was within these alpha male cultures that Ana realized the feminine form was non-existent, and companies needed to change the way they used feminine leadership to improve business performance.

Like so many other women in business, Ana was subjected to harassment and unwanted sexual behavior but never reported it, and endured through with her own resilience.  She soon saw that many company cultures were built around subtle ideals of female and minority suppression, where incidents of harassment would naturally become manifest.  

She believes that companies are like biological ecosystems that involve subtle interplay of energy and the human subconscious.  Her belief is that the feminine form is naturally placed to understand and navigate these ecosystems. This then results in value creation and improved performance for businesses.

In 2017 Ana hosted the first ever Women of Inspiration retreat in Maui which brought together some of the most influential women from companies such as Google, DSM, blue chip companies across China and also celebrities. The experience was the first of its kind to blend business, leadership and life for senior executive women.

Ana has been in global business for almost 15 years and has lived in London, Paris, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Florence, Croatia, Guinea West Africa and now in the San Francisco, Bay Area California. She is an award winning leadership entrepreneur, personal confidant and CEO coach.  She was Managing Partner of a London based leadership firm which was awarded the most “mould breaking approach to leadership” by the Managing Partners Forum. 

Over the last decade, Ana has developed leadership best practices having met over 50 top global CEOs through the BBC and CEO Masterclass, and worked directly alongside CEOs of large global companies. 

Ana tenaciously seeks ways to be inspired, and is relentless in her pursuit to unlock powerful women, as well as brave men who will support alongside so we can pioneer a new frontier for leadership.
