Paula Turbill
Women in Innovation President

In 2019 Melinda Parent was a finalist in the Women in Innovation “Winnovation Awards” for her use of the emerging field of neuroaesthetics in advertising. Flash forward to 2022 and this year Melinda will be joining the Women in Innovation Board to manage brand design, advertising and digital communications.

Now in it’s ninth year the Women in Innovation SA ‘Winnovation Awards’ showcase and celebrate the successes of female innovators changing the game in South Australia. This recognition has allowed Melinda and the Oranje Creative team to connect with so many incredible and of course, innovative, women.

One of them is Paula Turbill, President of the Women in Innovation Board; a talented leader and champion for STEM education, innovation and female leadership. She commenced her career in the chemistry laboratory before moving into the area of pharmaceutical business development and commercialisation. She has held a number of positions in international sales, business development and commercialisation and is now placing the next generation of leaders into their dream executive and career roles through the work she does with EGM Partners.

She’s also a mother of three beautiful children (young adults now really!) and strongly committed to making a positive difference to Australia’s low ranking on the Global Gender Gap Index. This isn’t even half of her resume but she balances it all with passion, determination and grace.

Women In Innovation is an inclusive community for innovative women who strive to make a difference. Paula is certainly one of them.
