About Me
Naomi Simson businessperson, blogger, entrepreneur
Naomi Simson past & present
I started my entrepreneurial journey with RedBalloon in 2001 from my front room with just $25,000 and a second-hand computer.
Redballoon.com.au is now considered one of Australia’s online business success stories, and has proudly served more than 3.6 million customers.
Last century I worked for big brands, IBM, Apple, KPMG and Ansett Airlines – all of which influenced who I am today.
I have many labels: speaker, author, blogger, entrepreneur, innovator, and influencer, to name a few.
With more than 2 million LinkedIn followers, I believe my gift is the ability to share my insights, experience and observations about business, innovation and success.
I’m passionate about great workplaces and focus my entrepreneurial energy on Redii.com, a leadership tool that drives the alignment of teams through recognition and reward.
As a judge on Channel TEN’s Shark Tank, I am a keen investor and supporter of the start up community. I am also the author of the best sellers ‘Live What You Love’, and ‘Ready to Soar’.
I am a Governor of the Cerebral Palsy Alliance, and Advisor to Heads over Heels and Voiceless.
the things I believe
the things I believe
Happiness is a journey – resilience, respect and responsibility are equally important
Passion, persistence, positivity and purpose create a vivid experience of life
People need more shared good times we are meant to hang out together
Saying thank you [a lot] spreads a sense of well being
Everyone deserves to have a great day at work, and feel proud of their work
What I learn is better shared
the things I believe
my proudest moments
Moments I am a little proud of
