Corporate experience. A founder’s perspective.

Coreena’s career spans Coles, Westfield, Michael Hill and Fenton & Fenton, with experience managing substantial marketing budgets, leading complex launches and working across teams, partners and stakeholders.

As the founder of Darling Bloom Collective and Rosey Skin, she also understands the responsibility of building a business and making investment decisions firsthand.

These perspectives inform the same approach: understand the commercial context, bring clarity to the challenge and connect the work to what the organisation needs to achieve.
