👋 Hello
I'm Sidney From Sydney
Over the past 25 years, I’ve built, led, and exited ventures across Australia, the US, and Asia, including Contexti (acquired by Versent / Telstra), Saasyan (AI-powered student safety), and Liaise (a Silicon Valley NLP startup).
Through these ventures, I’ve raised tens of millions in funding, built high-performance teams, closed multi-million dollar deals, and served hundreds of enterprise and government clients.
Today, through ImpactLadder, I advise and speak at the intersection of strategy, innovation, leadership, and personal growth, sharing real-world battle scars and practical insights to help ambitious founders and executive teams scale with clarity and lead with the conviction their team, market, and mission need.
If you’re building something serious, and ready to grow both the business and yourself, or you’re looking for a high-energy speaker for your next event, let’s talk.
