The Organisers
Ruth envisioned a community where current and future leaders could come together, support one another, and navigate an ever-changing tech driven world. She brought G on board, and together they have created a space where leaders could shape the future.
A special thanks to Bilue, Playgrounded and MJGT for helping make our events possible.

Ruth is currently the Chief Growth Officer at Bilue, where she applies her passion for people, leadership, and organisational culture. Her journey began in high school, where she was awarded the ‘Einstein Award’ for being the person most likely to succeed after school, as a result of being more focused on socialising than academics. While her peers pursued their passions in subjects like art, science, and technology, Ruth found her true calling in understanding and connecting with people.
With a Bachelor's Degree in psychology and a Master's in art therapy, Ruth has built a diverse career in people-centred roles across various industries, including child protection and emerging technology. A strong advocate of the Culture First movement, she believes that trust and inclusion are key to enabling individuals to thrive at work. These values are central to her leadership philosophy at Bilue, where she fosters a culture of growth, collaboration, and innovation.

G has built a career working with people in the technology industry. She’s always loved how passionate people in technology are about technology, but tech is not her jam. What technology can do for people, and how it can impact society and how we work is far more interesting to her.
G runs Playgrounded with her co-founder Stefan Bramble - helping hybrid & remote teams build relationships, rituals & reflection practices to get more done and have more fun.
Future Tech Collecitve and our supporters acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands on which we operate, including the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present and recognise their enduring connection to the lands, waters, and communities where we work and live.
