Australia

Christie Whitehill is an Australian entrepreneur based in the Greater Sydney area, with a track record spanning technology, education and wellness. In 2017 she founded Tech Ready Women, an award-winning education company and accelerator program for non-tech female founders building startups. The program won Startup Accelerator of the Year at the 2017 Australasian Startup Awards, delivered the NSW Government's Female Founder Program, and received Queensland government funding for an Investor Ready Program. Christie sold the business to Scalare Partners in 2024. Her earlier ventures include Hatching Lab, through which she says she has roughly 15 years of experience building tech businesses and has managed the development of over 20 tech products, including EY's global R&D portal 'Ready'.

In March 2022 Christie co-founded INTU WELLNESS with Anna Robards, a premium Australian beauty and wellness supplement brand that became the first Australian ingestible beauty brand to launch in MECCA stores, reaching around 80 stores across Australia and New Zealand. She also co-hosts the In Your Skin podcast with Anna, covering women's health, longevity and skin health.

Christie describes a personal experience of severe burnout and gut health issues as the catalyst for INTU WELLNESS, and she has publicly spoken against 'hustle culture', advocating for slow living and listening to one's body. She and Anna share a mission to help one million women feel confident in their skin.
