For twenty years Tom has been exploring how technology and culture can be harnessed as tools to create a more democratic society.

He is the co-founder and CEO of social change crowdfunding platform StartSomeGood.com, and the founding Director of the Australian Changemakers Festival.

He previously founded several nonprofits including Vibewire Youth Inc. in 2000 while he was at university, and spent eight years building it into an award-winning youth-led non-profit with offices in three states.

Along the way we opened the first coworking space in Australia (then called sQuareOne, now known as The Common Room and still running in Sydney).

The list goes on so rather than talk about Tom lets introduce the man himself.

Tom welcome to the show…

I’m a Melbourne based entrepreneur and business owner with a passion for brand development, social entrepreneurship and women's rights. 

Whilst studying a Bachelor of Business (Marketing) at RMIT, my now business partner and I identified a need in the women's personal care market for a range of products that were not only high quality but also stylish, feminine and functionally and conveniently packaged. When I couldn't find a women's personal care product to suit my needs, I decided to design my own. 

In 2005, I co-founded our business, Millie & More and launched the 'Moxie' brand six months later in early 2006. Moxie provides a full suite of women's feminine hygiene products (tampons, pads, liners and more recently, an Australian Certified Organic tampon range), all beautifully and conveniently packaged in reusable and recyclable tins - solving that embarrassing issue of our intimate products falling out of our handbags. The range is available at major retailers around Australia and abroad, and also online via our newly launched 'Moxie Box Club' subscription service.

In 2013, we launched an initiative called ‘Pads for Pads’, which provides girls in developing countries with sustainable 'AFRIpads' menstrual hygiene kits so that they can continue their schooling, uninterrupted by their periods. We fully fund the program through profits generated from the sale of our products. The project has thus far supported over 12,000 girls and counting.

I was proud to be named Telstra Young Businesswoman of the Year for Victoria in 2014 and enjoy public speaking - particularly at girls' schools, sharing my experiences in running a business and growing a global brand, as well as the importance of being the voices and drivers of positive change for women worldwide.
