Hi, I'm Anna. 

In the corporate world I’ve previously led teams in HR, Recruitment, and Talent Management across a range of industries including agency and in-house roles at Jetstar, Carlton & United Breweries, Cricket World Cup 2015 and Newcrest Mining. I’ve also focused on transformation projects, including leadership development and capability. 

Those who have worked with me will tell you that I bring an enthusiastic and pragmatic approach in partnering with all levels of the business, from coaching senior leaders at executive level, to  supporting and developing front line leaders and individuals. I strongly believe that the majority of people have the right intentions and motivations, and we need to empower people with the tools, techniques, structure and processes to reach their potential, and drive a high performing culture. 

I’m passionate about helping individuals become the best versions of themselves. And I’m passionate about helping companies understand the key link between the acquisition, development and engagement of talented people, and the success of an organisation. 

Level Up Collective was born out of a desire to bring passionate consultants and subject matter experts to companies looking for flexible, practical and tangible solutions. I'm excited to be working with a collective of such great humans and our extended networks, to help great businesses transform. 

In my other colliding worlds, I’m a wife, mum slash wrangler of three boisterous boys, and I’m also an Authorised Marriage Celebrant! I love bringing people together. In the new Covid-normal times, it’s now more important than ever to connect, grow and support each other. 

Hi, I'm Juhi. I'm an experienced HR Generalist and Change Specialist/Consultant who has worked across several industries including professional services, sport and recreation, healthcare and FMCG. 

I have executed numerous strategic HR projects across diversity & inclusion, continuous improvement, wellbeing, coaching of management, technology implementation, change management, and initiatives that transform the employee lifecycle to make it engaging and seamless. I have a proven ability to create positive change and growth in both people and organisations I partner with. 

I am passionate about helping individuals lead with authenticity and cultivating an environment where people present their true self. Put simply – I am driven to make a difference.

I began my career in Operations and got to be a part of the 'engine room'. My path naturally led to becoming an expert in Diversity & Inclusion where I was the first ever Diversity Manager at Cricket Australia. As a naturally curious individual, I became interested in the nuances of different industries. This eventually led me down a generalist HR path with experience within a number of different industries.

Outside of work, I love getting out and about, whether it's enjoying some Bikram Yoga, boxing, enjoying an Australian Pinot Noir or simply catching up with friends and family.

Hi, I’m Melanie, 

I’m an innovative and strategic business operations and people leader of 17 years, with a niche specialisation in Web3 (DeFi, DAO, NFT), working with early stage, high growth start-ups and globally distributed teams. Most recently, I’ve designed a scalable incubator-like model, coaching startup founders (Seed, Series A) in a quasi-COO capacity by working 1:1 to create, implement and achieve strategy and goals. 

My areas of expertise include; coaching, business strategy, risk mitigation & due diligence (audit), building process from scratch to ensure readiness to raise and/or scale, organisational design, leadership development, hiring global talent, systems implementation, compensation philosophy, business planning (budgeting & forecasting). With current US & APAC and European experience, I operate with a strong global lens and am well versed across Australian & US legislation and labour laws.

Hi, I’m Brien. I'm an experienced business owner and leader with a background in recruitment, human resources and management consulting.  Collaborating with Level Up Collective allows us to support businesses looking to expand on both sides of the Tasman.  

I’ve previously held country leadership and APAC positions within the largest recruitment and HR solutions provider in the world, having led teams in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, as well as working in Canada.  In recent times I have been focused on building “Sprout NZ” - a startup that disrupts traditional thinking around recruitment and HR.  

I love working with high growth businesses and get inspired everyday by the business owners I work with.  I myself have been involved in five start-up and scale-ups (three of which I’ve co-founded).  I truly believe that growth businesses add so much value to the community, create prosperity and are a vital incubator for innovation.   

I’m passionate about helping early stage businesses gain clarity in their direction and then linking that back to their people plan.  I truly believe in the power of connections. Through extending my network and connections, be it through finding great talent, a new board member or an external partner we have seen a huge impact on the businesses we work with.   

Outside of work, I am proud of our awesome family. My wife and I have three kids, a dog and live on 5 acres outside of the city of Auckland.  I love sport and am currently learning how to surf, play golf, enjoy running and supporting my son’s in their pursuit to be international footballers!   

Hi, I'm Laura. I'm excited to collaborate with Level Up Collective to help connect the best talent in Project Services, Process Improvement, Customer Experience (CX) and Business Transformation.  

Born and raised in Northern Ireland, I started my career in Financial Fraud and FX investigations with leading British Banks before shifting my unique skill set and eye for detail to recruitment. I relocated to Australia in 2008 and have built a successful reputation as the go-to executive recruiter. 

I’m highly responsive, with an infectious disposition driven by positivity, growth, and out-performance. I lead from the front in client and candidate engagement with integrity, curiosity, insight, and thoughtfulness.

And it was my desire to bring true authenticity, deep domain expertise and a customer-centric approach to recruitment, which drove me to start Frazer Tremble at the start of 2020. 

I’m passionate about helping my clients meet their business strategy requirements by sourcing the kind of exceptional talent required to transform businesses. And equally providing the candidate experience, talent of today truly deserves with a focus on diversity and inclusion.  

My mantra in life is “Don’t look back, you’re not going that way”, and outside of work, you will find me relaxing at Lake Eildon, with a wine in my hand and my husband, one-year-old and rescue pup in tow. 

Hi, I’m Tracey. I'm an experienced business owner and leader with a background in recruitment and technology. I'm excited to collaborate with Level Up Collective in sourcing the best talent to support with organisational change management.

Starting my career in technology 30 years ago enabled me to see how quickly a company can grow and flourish, but it also made me see how hiring the wrong people can kill a culture and destroy a company from within.  So 22 years ago I shifted into recruitment and found my calling.  I absolutely have loved working in both Australia and New Zealand with forward thinking clients who want to progress their business by putting their clients and staff at the centre of everything they do.  

In mid 2019 I was delighted to start up my own company and continue to work in the niche field of recruiting Change Management practitoners for clients here in Australia.  

I’m passionate about helping people connect with like minded people.  I am still connected to clients and candidates that I have placed 20 years ago and love seeing where their career choices and opportunities have taken them.  Having an in depth knowledge of the change candidate market is one thing, but really getting an understanding of a persons personality, drive and vision is key I feel.

Outside of work, I am a single mum to a 9 year old boy who loves animals and therefore acquired a rescue dog and 2 rescue cats.  When not bike riding around gorgeous Port Melbourne, I am trying my hand at camping and trying to overcome my fear of spiders and snakes!
