For a software company that solved the problem of low online sales conversion rates and poor customer self-service experiences online. So, in 2013 she founded Flamingo AI – a high-tech Artificial Intelligence FinTech and ASX-listed company that now provides machine learning virtual assistants ‘Rosie’ and ‘Maggie’, and knowledge engine ‘Libby’, to help financial services firms interact with their customers through a conversational commerce platform. “We’ve built AI technology that can be accessed and used by anyone – not just the big end of town – and that’s pretty cool. Our intent is to power human capability,” Catriona explains. “Looking ahead, our focus is on scaling and commercialising the business across the US, Australia and Asia–Pacific.”Having raised a massive A$25 million in just four years, Flamingo is one of only two companies on the ASX with a female chief executive and chair, and proudly boasts a 40% female workforce. “In the beginning, I had to work 150 times harder than my male counterparts just to get a foot in the door,” Catriona recalls. “This only motivated me further to become a role model for girls and women in tech, and to inspire and mentor female entrepreneurs worldwide. Flamingo is diverse in gender, race, age, sexuality and mental health. This helps us attract and retain world-class talent.” To nurture female leaders in Australia, in 2014 Catriona launched The Ventura Australia’s first major co-working space for women-led businesses. Based in Sydney, it provides support services for female entrepreneurs, CEOs, founders, co-founders and their teams.
