As the founder of award-winning creative agency Willow & Blake, and co-founder and nonexecutive director of skincare brand frank body, Hatzis is an inspirational entrepreneurial success story, having built a business of more than $1 billion worth of consumer brands.
As a brand strategist, marketer and startup expert, she will deliver her session, “Entrepreneurial success story: Building a business empire from scratch” in which valuable lessons will be offered on passionately providing brands and their customers with unique, meaningful and memorable experiences.
Hatzis is dedicated to championing women in business, having founded two organisations that drive diversity and inclusivity, from consumer facing campaigns to board
mandates that stipulate minimum requirements for female representation in leadership roles.
In her closing keynote session at the 10th edition of Events Uncovered presented by Spice, Hatzis will provide inspirational learnings from her business journey, followed by an onstage fireside conversation with event MC Mark Humphries.
