Sara manages the fast-growing digital events arm of Redback, which runs over 150 managed webinars monthly for corporate, government and not-for-profit customers.

After joining Redback more than a decade ago, she works closely with sales, marketing and delivery to provide organisations with frictionless, seamless events that take the stress out of their online programs and increase the overall production quality.

An accomplished on-camera presenter herself, Sara also oversees Redback’s consultancy services, which assists customers to improve event marketing, engagement levels, attendance and production values.

Sara enjoys her laid-back, simple life on the Central Coast and spending most of her time with her shadow, her English Staffy puppy Ari.

She is a ray of sunshine. If she was a dog her tail would wag a lot. She loves to go to camping festivals and make her friends mojitos. She gets pleasure out of helping others in need. She is also a Certified Wedding Celebrant.

He’s 30 but routinely gets asked for ID when buying drinks. He can cook 1 minute noodles in 58 seconds. He’s already planned his next 10 years of holidays to travel and take photos!

She wants you to know that watching all of the Harry Potter films in one weekend is a highly regarded talent in the industry. And what industry do you ask? She is not sure, but she is glad you asked.

He’s a film graduate who went corporate and trying to wiggle his way back.
Also a supporter of the Boston Celtics and aspires to travel the world on a motorcycle.

She’s a dance teacher (she doesn’t leave early on Mondays for no reason!) and appreciates expressive art. She loves Japanese and Lebanese cuisine and would love to open up her own Filipino restaurant one day.

She is a proud mother of two beautiful children. She makes the best butter chicken. She lives in a house with 10 others! And the answer is yes, she loves coming to work!

Been in the tech industry for the past 12 years, has travelled to 55 countries and looking is forward to seeing many more!

Having a name like Gianno Paolo confuses people into thinking he’s Italian… He is actually Filipino… shh! In 2016 he had open heart surgery and now has a titanium valve…SIA’s song Titanium is actually about him ?

He is often seen on the streets of Sydney hauling huge, black suitcases from gig to gig, and on weekends will be winding down with his family.

He loves all things involving filmmaking and creativity! His hobbies include writing, directing, and playing guitar, and the most important things in his life are his family, friends, and faith.

He’s travelled the world and swears New York is the greatest city. He loves Liverpool FC and will talk about it at any given opportunity – it’s a problem! He’ so accident prone that his family thinks that he should live in a giant plastic bubble.

Loves to give fake names for coffee and boost juice. She’s the most easily startled person you will ever meet, it’s ridiculous how jumpy she is. She doesn’t swear much but swears by the following ‘f’ words – Faith, Family, Friends.

He has lost his last 4 girlfriends to the same video game – what’s with that? He starts his day with a fresh box of banana based fruit salad! He lost both his molars in a freak skateboarding accident – then he became a total nerd.

Who is Mary? She will never respond to Mary..It’s MG or Mary Grace. She is a big nerd and has a love for everthing from LOTR to tasteful Anime.
She is currently learning violin in hopes to one day play the Pirates of the Carribean theme. We wish her luck!

She’s cool

She absolutely loves anchovies! She is a fanatic when it comes to horror movies. She recently started rock climbing and is actually becoming quite good at it!

He is a huge car enthusiast – from JDM, euro to muscle. He was attacked by a dog when he was five but says that he will always love dogs… aww! He loves quoting the Simpsons, Friends or Harry Potter.

He’s awesome..

He’s kind of a big deal. He has many leather-bound books and his apartment smells of rich mahogany. His collection of vintage skateboards is eclipsed only by his collection of vinyl records. Don’t act like you’re not impressed…

He has a Masters degree in Artificial Intelligence – and we are also convinced that he has ‘robot super powers’. He spends a lot of time (and money) on the latest and greatest virtual reality gadgets. He is the proud father of three beautiful kids.

He is cool…
