Athyna
- Bill Kerr
I’m Founder and CEO at Athyna, a Global Talent Platform working with companies at the solo-preneur stage all the way to billion-dollar brands.
I have an interest in creative thinking and building loveable brands that make the world a better place. For the best part of the last decade, I’ve built two successful companies with a 100% remote workforce and now spend my days helping businesses hire, manage and retain world-class global teams. I am also a proud Mentor & Investor at Startmate, the epicentre for startup ambition across Australia and New Zealand.
Creatively, I am the host of a podcast that tells interesting stories. Child soldiers, corrupt cops, porn stars, astrophysicists and more. Outside of work, I like training, hiking, surfing and reading. Also needing to walk the boss twice daily, my sausage dog, Ziggy.
Through my 20's and early 30's I have also travelled to 50 odd countries around the world. If you like travel, growing your business or sausage dogs feel free to reach out and say hi.

Fun fact
I once sailed a 42 foot catamaran through the Caribbean for 12 hours into the eye or Hurricane Matthew. We were somewhere between Mexico and Belize and I had zero experience. And we survived!
