Frank Scifo
Very grateful to Olivia Myeza for her great work with shaping and advancing the Business Development and Partnerships Manager role at Hope Street. Olivia's skill set, experience, and drive are first class. Olivia has real capacity to deliver positive outcomes in areas including without being limited to business development, partnerships, marketing and communications. Olivia's professionalism, coupled with her authentic and genuine nature would ensure she is an asset to any team and/or organization.

I had the pleasure of working under Olivia when I first joined the Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust (HACT) in June 2016 as their Marketing & Fundraising Manager and prior to her moving back to Australia with her family. The opportunity to work closely with Olivia, who has such a positive drive, energy and passion for her work, was quite honestly a dream come true. Olivia possess that very rare skill of being able to envision and actively strive towards the bigger picture, while at the same time having the most incredible attention to everyday detail. Her compassion and genuine love of people makes her a strong, decisive and much respected leader and this is evident in the warm smiles that her name still evokes from anyone and everyone who worked with her. In addition to Olivia’s strong leadership skills and her unrivalled work ethic, she is a truly gifted and talented fundraiser who has the ability to connect with donors both big and small and produce consistently high quality funding proposals, appeals and reports as well as newsletters and all other fundraising and marketing communication. It’s an honour and privilege to be part of the team that is still upholding the legacy that Olivia worked so hard to build here at HACT. I have nothing but admiration and respect for her as a boss and as a friend.
