Southern Region finalist, Linda Brown, CEO and President of Torrens University Australia has been named the winner for 2021, for her entrepreneurial approach to tertiary education, which has over the past decade become one of Australia’s biggest service exports.

From 146 graduates in 2013 to 20,000 employable graduates annually today, Linda Brown is disrupting Australia’s tertiary education sector. The judges were impressed with Linda’s mission to drive employability outcomes for Torrens University graduates and her entrepreneurial spirit which has taken the business into 118 countries.

The judges were also impressed by Linda’s commitment to “people, teaming and creating a culture” through purposeful leadership and a vision which is going to make an impact on a global scale.
