MEET THE TEAM
Get to know Chanie…
Chanie started in corporate marketing and comms back in the dark ages of TV, radio and print around 2008, working in Telco and Finance. At the birth of this little thing called Google Ads, she shifted to digital marketing, working in search engine optimisation and online content creation (which used to be called blogging).
Her switch to the startup world came in 2012 when she was employee number four at freshly minted Startmate graduate: BugHerd. Chanie has since worked with some of Australia’s best tech startups (including JigSpace in the Rampersand portfolio) and was the HOM for the largest startup accelerator in Aus, BlueChilli. She has freelanced and consulted for over 25 startups from countless industries and has worked as a freelance travel writer. She joined Rampersand in 2024.
Chanie is passionate about helping more underrepresented people (especially women) to enter STEM and achieve financial support to achieve their goals.
“Good people with curiosity and initiative will always succeed.”
Chanie’s superpower is…
A creative/analytical hybrid
Chanie possesses a rare blend of creative and analytical thinking, storytelling power, and a strategic mind that loves collaborating with, mentoring, and empowering others. Years of freelance experience have made her incredibly hands-on and freakishly knowledgeable about most martech tools and marketing processes.
“Chanie is the number one competitively ranked female hide-and-seek player in Australia.”
