Bridget Loudon and Emily Yue, Co-founders of Expert360

Gen Ys and former colleagues at Bain & Company, Bridget Loudon and Emily co-founded Expert360 – an online platform that connects people who need industry expertise with people who want to share it. While at Bain & Company, the duo observed that companies and professionals often lacked the specific expertise they needed to make key decisions. Yet this expertise was only needed on an adhoc basis. It was clear that “expertise on demand” was the future and that the internet was driving a new and powerful model for businesses to facilitate that. Expert360 was created as an online platform that gives professionals access to what they really want – high quality talent, flexibility in how they engage them, and at a price that delivers good value.

Fiona Anson and Allison Baker, Co-founders of Workible

Fiona Anson and Allison Baker were consulting for the same client part-time when they realised they had a common problem. They were looking for extra work – one that fitted around the hours they had available. Upon exploring this further with others, the duo saw an opportunity and worked together to create HireMeUp, a job board specifically for flexible roles. After a trip to Silicon Valley, they reinvented to become Workible. Workible is a mobile and web based recruitment, staff management and social platform that addressed the pain points of the part time and hourly workforce – the need to find staff fast, manage availability and the ebb-and-flow of staffing requirements.

In just 4 months, Fiona and Allison scored a list of blue chip Australian clients with a plan to launch in the US this month.
