Today’s episode follows the story of Emily Frizell, a female veteran entrepreneur that has set out and established AeroPM , a multi-award winning consultancy company that currently has a veteran employment rate of 80%.

 

Her story of entrepreneurship in a male dominated industry is phenomenal.

 

In 2020, Emily was recognised within the Defence Industry as the

Female Defence Leader of the Year, and in 2019 she was shortlisted for the

ACT Telstra Business Women's Award.

 

In this episode of The Soldier On Podcast, we’ll follow her experience of transitioning from Defence, the decision for her to start her own company, the obstacles she faced, and what advice she has for other entrepreneurs.
