Bio
Mango Parker
I am very grateful to Kerstin for recommending I apply for the CSIRO OnPrime program in 2019. It was a very practical and fun way to develop entrepreneurial thinking, just as she said. Throughout the program and since then she has continued to provide advice and mentoring around commercialising research outcomes for the wine sector. Her deep knowledge and vast experience of Agtech and Medtech, combined with her emotional intelligence is a rare combination. Kerstin works incredibly hard for what she believes in, and knows how to get things done.

I had the pleasure of working with Kerstin on a project to commercialise my invention through the Accelerating Commercialisation programme. Kerstin is an expert in technology commercialisation and she provided me with invaluable guidance and support throughout the process. She is not only very knowledgeable, but also very caring and generous with her time and resources. She always went the extra mile to help me overcome any challenges and achieve my goals. Kerstin is a great mentor and a wonderful person to work with. Her impressive background and achievements also prove my claims. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs assistance in technology commercialisation.
