To describe Sarah Sivyer as worldly and business savvy would be absolutely under-selling her. Sarah describes herself as a ‘serious data nerd’ and a ‘serious business model nerd’. After sitting down with her to record the podcast, we believe it and love it!

“I'm going to sound a bit wacky, I just love excellent businesses.”

Sarah has some incredible experiences and habits that have led to this appetite for continual growth and data-driven success. Just to name a few:

Combined Chemical Engineering and Commerce degree from Sydney University
Four years being mentored at College following High School - there’s people from these formative years who are still having an impact on Sarah’s life
Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from Oxford University in London
Work on the mines for BHP in continual business improvement projects in Western Australia
Work for Syngenta in Switzerland in food security
Nuffield Scholarship in 2018
Avid podcast listener - “How I Built This” with Guy Raz is one of her favourites!

As life would have it, it’s of course never quite that linear progression. Now back on the family farm, Sarah chose to generate impact in her own way that wasn't the traditional dairy farm she had always known... She instead developed a subscription model for pastuerised eggs that has social impact.

There’s so much more to Sarah’s story, from raising a toddler while running the business, marketing strategies and her most recent endeavours in agritourism.

Sarah's story is part of our partnership with the Nuffield Australia - Nuffield Scholar program - Where we are shining a light on some of the incredible stories of some of their scholars.
