Caitlin Figueiredo - Change-making is not a sprint, it's a marathon

Caitlin is a proud Goan woman and strategic leader with 10+ years driving multi-sector reforms across government, civil society, and global organisations. Recognised by Forbes, the Obama White House, and as 2024 ACT Young Australian of the Year, Caitlin has a record of delivering transformative programs that advance social impact, equity, and human rights.

In this episode, Caitlin shares her experience running Girls Takeover Parliament, her thoughts about traditional and non-traditional political media, and her aspirations to become Australia's first intergenerational commissioner.

Caitlin's ask for you rafters is to inform yourself about (and join, if you can) the National Women's Alliances which play a key role in ensuring women’s voices are central in the policy development process. Or, if you work with or for an organisation with a wicked problem that needs solving, you can hire Caitlin to help!
