About the Speakers
Jess Ruhfus, Collabosaurus Founder (Moderator)
Jess Ruhfus is the Founder of Collabosaurus, a marketing platform that match-makes brands for clever collaborations & partnerships. With a background in fashion publicity and marketing education, Jess was frustrated sourcing cool brand partnerships in events, products & social media. So, she launched Collabosaurus in 2015, which has now attracted over 8500+ brands including Estee Lauder, ASOS, Bondi Sands & Marks & Spencer.
Anna Ross, Kester Black Founder
Anna Ross is a New Zealand-born creative and entrepreneur who created Kester Black out of her passion for wanting clean and ethical products. Moving from Dunedin to Melbourne in 2009, Anna developed the company from her bedroom with just $50 to her name. A few years, and a patented formula later, today Kester Black is a sustainable business with vegan and cruelty-free products used worldwide. Kester Black is also the first beauty brand in the world to be B-Corp certified.
Kellie Brown, Fig & Bloom Founder
Kellie Brown is the founder of Fig & Bloom, which specialises in high-end, contemporary floral design, and is now Melbourne’s only five-star florist with thousands of loyal customers. After studying fashion design at RMIT University and spending a decade working with well-known brands including Decjuba, Wonderbra, Witchery and Zoo York, Kellie decided to take her fashion knowledge and experience into a completely different industry – floral design.
Sarah Thornton, Finders Keepers Co-Founder
Sarah Thornton is the Managing Director and Co-founder of the Finders Keepers, where communities come together to shop, explore and discover the very best from designers, makers and entrepreneurs in our country, online via their shop or in person at their markets.
