New Leadership to Empower Communities

With over 20 years of experience in sales, operations, and strategic partnerships, Yasmine is an award-winning leader and community advocate. Her work as Founder & CEO of the Women’s Commercial Finance Forum and her role at Ethical Finance Australia highlight her expertise in strategic community building and financial management. Yasmine will bring a unique blend of commercial acumen and entrepreneurial mindset to BREED to mentor the Community Manager, develop impactful partnerships, and lead with vision. Her efforts will focus on fostering collaborative partnerships and driving sponsorships and innovative growth strategies for the organisation.

Sajda comes to BREED with a rich leadership, customer service, and operational management background. Her experience as a manager at City Beach demonstrates her ability to lead teams effectively, achieve key performance indicators, and cultivate strong client relationships. With a passion for community engagement and youth empowerment, Sajda will oversee day-to-day operations at our Nirimba Business Hub, strengthen partnerships, and promote community programs. Her energy and organisational skills will be pivotal to delivering BREED’s mission and expanding its community impact.

Nathan joins BREED on a consulting basis to lead program development and funding initiatives. With a proven track record of securing grants, designing impactful projects and creating commercially viable business strategies in senior roles, Nathan’s expertise will drive innovation and expand BREED’s service offerings. He will work closely with the CEO to identify new opportunities, foster collaborations, and enhance the organisation’s transformative projects.

We would also like to take this opportunity to announce that Amber Carlson, BREED’s dedicated Operations Manager, will be leaving the organisation on December 20, 2024. Amber has been an integral part of BREED, and her transition into the NSW Police Force marks the next chapter in her career. We thank Amber for her remarkable contributions and wish her success in her future endeavours.

This new structure reflects BREED’s commitment to strengthening its impact and ensuring sustainable growth. We are confident that Yasmine, Sajda, and Nathan will bring fresh perspectives and capabilities to our team, furthering our vision to empower communities and youth.
