Cathy Burke Email Address

Speaker and Author and Mentor and Leadership and Mindset

The Hunger Project is a strategic, global organization based in New York committed to the end of hunger and abject poverty in the developing world.

I know about leading in difficult conditions, and the power we have as humans to rise and adapt. I help organisations unlock this potential within teams and individuals. Having been a CEO and global change trail-blazer, I understand the challenges of leading people, and being accountable for setting the course, budgets, people and delivery. As a world class mindset expert, I bring my experience to help ambitious people and organisations break through the blockages and achieve remarkable results. I have worked with the power of mindsets for more than twenty years. As a global leader with The Hunger Project, I was an integral member of a visionary team who developed leadership at scale in villages all over the world. Through this work, millions of the world’s poorest people stepped into their power, able to feed themselves and their families. I bring this deep experience and knowledge to help organisations develop the critical leadership mindsets needed to address 21st century challenges. I'm an awarded CEO and thought leader, including winning the Australian Financial Review’s Top 100 Women of Influence Award, and the Davos Australia Leadership award. I am the author of Lead In: Mindsets to Lead, Live and Work Differently (2022), and Unlikely Leaders: Lessons in Leadership from the Village Classroom (2015).
