Wilson Casado
Education and diversity are key to an innovative future, I am forever looking for opportunities where most aren’t even looking.
Changing the Game, our new show launching in 2021, is a platform to celebrate and learn from amazing people whose stories show why diversity is good for business and how innovation can impact our world.
From a young age, I was motivated and encouraged by my mother and grandmother, and as an adult I recognise the sacrifices they made as women to support our family.
This is where my passion for diversity was born – I firmly believe we need everyone at the table for a future we can all get excited about.
My career has afforded me the opportunity to have worked in Brazil, America, and Australia. These opportunities came with challenges, accelerated growth and an ever-expanding appreciation for the benefits of diversity.
As co-founder of the business and technology consulting firm Visagio in Australia, the team has grown from a start-up to an award-winning team of more than 80 people in the past decade. Our team helps clients across the globe in a multitude of industries including Government, education, non-for-profit, mining, agriculture, manufacturing and financial services.
Through our in-house mentoring program and corporate university, we actively encourage innovation and education, and promote an inclusive and diverse perspective.
As an entrepreneur myself, I am passionate about supporting business leaders and entrepreneurs. With Perth Angels, I actively contribute to the development of early-stage and high-growth companies by selecting opportunities for investment.
If you are forward-thinking and innovative, I would welcome the opportunity to connect and explore how we can change the future for the better.
