Ms Karen Stott is a lawyer with 20 years of litigation experience, and a nationally accredited mediator. She has practised in a wide range of areas, particularly health law and medical negligence, professional and government liability, personal injury and workplace relations.

With a background in economics, psychology and legal studies, Ms Rachel King spent more than 15 years working in the financial markets for Australian, American and European investment banks, both domestically and offshore, most recently as Director, Global Markets. During her time working closely with many high-performers making high-stakes decisions, Rachel observed the relationship between human factors, performance and the bottom line.
