CWC Lunch and Learn with One of Australia's most Successful Entrepreneurs

Looking for the perfect way to spend an afternoon, outside of the day to day of your business and learn a thing or two from one of Australia’s most successful entrepreneurs and experienced company Directors? Cue the CWC Club Lunch and Learn Series.

Given the incredible success of our Lunch and Learn series in 2022 we are back with a Bang with none other than James Spencley, best known for Founding Vocus communications and growing it into a multi-billion dollar business.

James is currently the Chairperson of Airtasker Limited, and Swoop Holdings Limited (ASX: SWP), a non-executive director of Kogan.com Ltd (ASX: KGN) and elected North Sydney Councillor.

If that isn’t impressive enough, you may have even heard James’ name in the headlines recently for a personal project in bringing Ambulances to war-torn Ukraine.

"Once the conflict started, my wife – who is Ukrainian — and I we were looking for ways to help. We researched it and bought two second-hand ambulances, I flew over, picked them up and delivered them”, James recalls of how the project started.

Want to know more?

- Like how they’ve since raised and spent over $500k in organising these emergency vehicles and the logistics behind it

- Or the windy path James took to get to where he is today, from building a successful business from the ground up, to disrupting an industry

James will share his insights, successes, and learnings from across his career including his time building Vocus and we will hear directly from James about his efforts to help Ukraine.

This is your opportunity as an entrepreneur to speak with another entrepreneur who has been there and lived to tell the tale.
