About your guest:

Phil Leahy’s journey began in 2007 when he became eBay Australia’s #1 seller with his business, Entertainment House. From there, Phil went on to shape the industry by founding Retail Global Events, bringing retailers together to spark innovative conversations and drive growth. After selling Retail Global to Maropost in 2022, Phil made a bold return to eCommerce with MedCart Marketplace, now Australia’s leading medical marketplace, providing crucial medical supplies to businesses, consumers, and government bodies. Beyond business, Phil’s passion for giving back has been evident through his Frontliners initiative, which has raised over $1 million for charities and delivered $3 million in products and services to support 140,000 healthcare workers across Australia.
