🌟 Meet Your Mentor: Liliana Bravo 🌟
Entrepreneur | Educator | Mentor | Social Enterprise Leader
Over the past six years, I’ve worked extensively in retail, wholesale, and business mentoring—with a strong focus on entrepreneurship, business development, and sustainability.
Before founding my social enterprise Casa Bonita, I spent over a decade in the corporate sector, leading multi-million-dollar supply chain projects for Australia's top publishers. These experiences shaped my strategic thinking and taught me how to collaborate—even with competitors.
With Casa Bonita, I’ve ethically sourced from over 250 Indigenous and artisanal businesses across South America, empowering female entrepreneurs through sustainable trade. I also founded the Women’s Empowerment Hub (WEH)—a Melbourne-based business accelerator that received the 2021 Multicultural Excellence in Business Award for its impactful Co-Retail Program, helping migrant women build practical skills and break down social and economic barriers.
More recently, I’ve stepped into academia as a lecturer in Master's programs, teaching subjects such as:
-
Entrepreneurship and Innovation
-
IT Strategic Management
-
Managing Across Cultures
Here, I combine theory with real-world experience—especially around starting and scaling a business in Australia as a migrant woman.
My Interests Include:
-
Women's empowerment
-
Ethical and sustainable supply chains
-
Latin American trade
-
Property investment
-
Retail & wholesale business models
I’m currently exploring scholarship opportunities to begin a PhD in entrepreneurship and Latin American trade.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my two girls, hubby and friends. I also love camping, dancing to Latin music, and being active in the Latin community at festivals and cultural events.
Let’s make your business goals a reality. I look forward to an inspiring and practical journey together!
