About the event
Olivia’s career has taken her from luxury beauty and fashion to the disability sector. After building a successful career as a makeup artist and National Education Manager for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, she returned to Central Otago and to an organisation that had been part of her life since she was 16.
Today, Olivia is Chief Executive of Central Otago Living Options Charitable Trust, leading disability services across Central Otago and the Whakatipu. Her story is one of changing direction, stepping into a family legacy, and discovering that two very different careers can share the same purpose, helping people feel seen, building confidence and creating opportunities for others.
Olivia will share the journey of expanding Living Options into the Whakatipu, and the transformational impact of receiving Impact100 inaugural $100,000 grant.
