‘My extensive experience in banking, supporting business leaders to grow their business and personal wealth, and later as an executive coach, has informed my consulting approach. Providing a combination of support and challenge encourages leaders to stretch beyond their existing boundaries and become a leader that they would want to follow.’

Andrea Corcoran has a broad senior executive capability spanning over 20 years in banking and finance, predominantly with two of the big four Australian banks. Both in leading teams and business units across a diverse range of functions, including relationship management, call centre, head office strategy and sales, and a state business.
