Renee Kraus, North Shore Partner

Renee’s career breadth as a strategic marketer in professional services spanning multiple industries, has fuelled her belief that we’re more similar than we are different.

Renee’s passionate about applying universal ‘must haves’ that drive performance, resulting in her ability to deliver transformational change across some of the most successful global and local brands including Westpac, Citibank, Telstra, Optus, and Bupa.

People are central to this strategy and Renee recognised the power of The Friday Lunch Club early on, as a way to connect like-minded people and build trusted networks within networks.
