Andre Eikmeier

André Eikmeier is a founder who is trying to do something good for the world.

He co-founded online wine start-up Vinomofo with his brother-in-law Justin in 2011 and built it into a $100m global company.

Life before that is a twenty-year study in the art of failing - from dropping out of university, a failed family business, an acting career in four out of five of Australia's worst TV shows, a singing career that never
transcended being the lead singer in a One Hit Wonders covers band, a theatre company that imploded on its first production, an events company that peaked at the launch of an adult sex toy brand, a film
company that nearly saw him plummet to his death from a joy ride helicopter, and a year-long kombi wine adventure around Australia...

In 2018, following an existential crisis driven by a profound sense of concern for the world and an awakening of privilege and responsibility, André founded Good Empire, a gamified impact platform to
gather, unite and empower an empire of good humans to help save the world.

Chris Blowes

Chris Blowes is living proof that with the right mindset anything is possible.

On Anzac Day 2015 Chris was surfing when he was attacked by a great white shark. Chris had lost a leg, his heart had stopped and he was bleeding out at the bottom of a cliff 35 kilometres from the nearest country hospital on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia and a further 600 kilometres to the nearest trauma centre in Adelaide. The odds were definitely stacked in the shark’s favour.

As an above knee amputee, learning to walk again was just the first step. Chris had other goals including getting back to work as a builder, but more importantly surfing. Chris demonstrates how limiting mindsets can be preventing us from reaching our full potential and how true growth ultimately lies in pushing your boundaries and stepping outside of your comfort zone.

Australian Para Surf Champion, Co-author of the book Caught Inside and keynote speaker Chris will have you on the edge of your seat as he shares how he overcame adversity to find purpose in his trauma. His story will show you how through struggle and hardship there can be growth and learning and how with the right mindset there can be so much to gain if you can make it through moments of adversity and discomfort.

Chris Blowes

Chris Blowes is living proof that with the right mindset anything is possible.

On Anzac Day 2015 Chris was surfing when he was attacked by a great white shark. Chris had lost a leg, his heart had stopped and he was bleeding out at the bottom of a cliff 35 kilometres from the nearest country hospital on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia and a further 600 kilometres to the nearest trauma centre in Adelaide. The odds were definitely stacked in the shark’s favour.

As an above knee amputee, learning to walk again was just the first step. Chris had other goals including getting back to work as a builder, but more importantly surfing. Chris demonstrates how limiting mindsets can be preventing us from reaching our full potential and how true growth ultimately lies in pushing your boundaries and stepping outside of your comfort zone.

Australian Para Surf Champion, Co-author of the book Caught Inside and keynote speaker Chris will have you on the edge of your seat as he shares how he overcame adversity to find purpose in his trauma. His story will show you how through struggle and hardship there can be growth and learning and how with the right mindset there can be so much to gain if you can make it through moments of adversity and discomfort.

Andre Eikmeier

André Eikmeier is a founder who is trying to do something good for the world.

He co-founded online wine start-up Vinomofo with his brother-in-law Justin in 2011 and built it into a $100m global company.

Life before that is a twenty-year study in the art of failing - from dropping out of university, a failed family business, an acting career in four out of five of Australia's worst TV shows, a singing career that never
transcended being the lead singer in a One Hit Wonders covers band, a theatre company that imploded on its first production, an events company that peaked at the launch of an adult sex toy brand, a film
company that nearly saw him plummet to his death from a joy ride helicopter, and a year-long kombi wine adventure around Australia...

In 2018, following an existential crisis driven by a profound sense of concern for the world and an awakening of privilege and responsibility, André founded Good Empire, a gamified impact platform to
gather, unite and empower an empire of good humans to help save the world.

As Chief Executive, founder and lead software designer at Power Business Services Ltd trading as Exedee (2007), and its Australian subsidiary, eCloud Business Services Pty Ltd (2014), Desi Lorand is a visionary and pioneer in New Zealand government and business circles specialising in the conversion of manual business document processing into automated workflows.

Desi’s focus has always been on People, Process and Technology (in that order) when providing cloud-based automated (robotic) business processing solutions to replace expensive, slow, manual processing of business documents and transactions.

When other people talk about the creation of the “paperless office”, it was Desi who between 2007 and now, was envisioning the integration of records, images and document management with workflow to improve business efficiency.
