They're a social enterprise Fintech linking deep financial smarts with Trenna's heart-fuelled mission to empower women to control their financial future.
Building a business to solve a problem is Startup 101. But solving a problem you genuinely care about is rocket fuel for a conscience-led entrepreneur.
With close to half a century on the planet, Trenna understands why finance matters and how to harness its power for good. She’s held many roles in the corporate world across strategy, sales and investments - but being an entrepreneur - and founding three highly successful businesses – is the most rewarding.
She has made it her mission to create a fearless, financial future for women by funding social impact initiatives which help marginalised women in Australia. From this Fierce Impact was born, a not-for-profit pledging to tackle the problems faced by 1 in 4 older Australians who live in poverty, with women being increasingly at risk.
