Bio
Olivia Cozzolino
Sue is a competent and authentic leader. Under her leadership, Ability Works is on a rapid growth trajectory. She is strategic, conscientious and driven in her efforts to grow Ability Works, and she is genuinely committed to finding a broader solution to the unemployment issue for people with a disability. Sue has a gentle, warm and highly personable demeanour and the ability to engage with a diverse range of stakeholders. I have observed Sue’s highly developed networking skills in action. She gives generously to others (including competitors- she views everyone as potential partners, rather than competitors) and as a result receives much in return. She is humble, curious and keen to learn from and share ideas with all. I have had the pleasure of working with Sue for the past 18 months since she engaged Social Traders in an advisory capacity. I would highly recommend working or partnering with Sue.
