== Early life and education ==
Megan Dalla-Camina grew up as a creative; a dancer, actress, writer, poet, singer, music producer. She was always creating and performing, right through until she was in her early twenties. A car accident then changed her course, and she ended up in the corporate world, which saw her working for big global companies like GE, PwC and IBM for the best part of 20 years.
Megan worked in marketing, business development, business strategy, gender diversity, organisational change and leadership development, in senior roles within Australia, Asia and the US. Her final corporate role was Head of Strategy for IBM, a 5 billion dollar business. During that time she also completed two Masters degrees; Business Management from [[Macquarie Business School]] and Wellness & Positive Psychology from [[RMIT University]].<ref>Lucy Broadbent,{{cite web|url=https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/contributors/megan-dalla-camina|title=Megan Dalla-Camina|publisher=psychologytoday.com|date=|accessdate=23 September 2023}}</ref> Just before she landed her first big Director role, she fell pregnant with her son. Megan is currently studying her PHD in Women’s Spirituality and Leadership at [[California Institute of Integral Studies]] in the USA.

== Career ==

Megan has long been passionate about how women can succeed and thrive personally and professionally.
