Our team

Jess leads the work that Good Things Foundation does in Australia. She supports the team, connects with local, state, national and international stakeholders and most importantly ensures that we are building a strong, collaborative and supported network of great community organisations across the country. Jess is a community worker at heart and has lived in three states of Australia, so she loves travelling to all the different parts of this wide-brown land to meet people doing great work in their communities. She ensures that the Good Things Foundation team is providing high-quality support to our Network Partners and knows that to do that, we need to be constantly listening, learning and improving.

Helen’s job is to keep all of the plates spinning! She’s both hands-off – planning for an ambitious future – and hands-on – motivating the team and our partners in Australia to do the best they possibly can. She’s passionate about helping people to get the most out of the web and all of the opportunities it brings. She loves talking to the people in local communities who make it all come together, and to the wonderful people who have taken the plunge to do something different and digital with their lives.

Linda is a brand, marketing and communications specialist with experience across not for profit, government and corporate organisations in both Australia and the UK. An inspirational leader, skilled strategic thinker, experienced stakeholder manager and marketing specialist, Linda is passionate about tackling social inequality and driving positive social impact through innovative campaigning, communication and advocacy.

Zena’s role is to ensure the organisation’s internal systems, tools and processes are in place, available and efficient, to support the broader team in service delivery. She has oversight of Finance, Human Resources, Digital and Technology, Legal, Compliance, Insurances, Administration and Project Management aspects of the organisation.

When not creating plans and checklists or gushing over colourful Monday.com boards, Zena can be found studying human anatomy, reading on stars and planets or staring at artworks trying to understand how they were created.
