Sue Pember
Managing director
Aussie Orientation Services
SUE Pember left a comfortable corporate job in 2010 to establish fast-growing relocation business Aussie Orientation Services.
It was a bold move for Ms Pember, who up until that point had no experience in a leadership role, particularly in an uncertain economic climate.
However her passion for helping people to feel comfortable in a new environment, part of her responsibilities in the previous job, kept her motivated to reach her business goal.
The determination paid off, with Ms Pember securing a major client within a week of establishing Aussie Orientation Services; she now counts major multinational companies among her client list.
The business has grown to more than 20 employees in two years, with Ms Pember tapping into the resource-rich working mothers and semi-retirees market.
