Jane Carey
Raised on a farm in the mid north of South Australia and later co-founding a successful boutique recruitment agency with her husband, Jane’s led from the front for more than two decades. She knows what it’s like to lie awake at 3am wondering how to keep everything on track.
As CEO of Edge Recruitment Jane built a high-performing team cultivating strong client relationships, a values-led culture and a reputation for delivering results. Navigating the full arc of business life she led through many phases of growth and change before overseeing a structured succession and exit plan with full team retention. After stepping away, Jane took a year-long sabbatical with her husband and daughter, travelling around Australia and gaining a fresh perspective on life.
As an experienced board director, Jane has worked with a range of organisations navigating complex governance and risk issues with a strong focus on commercial success and positive customer outcomes.
In her current business - Carey Advisory - Jane works alongside business owners, organisations and boards to help them cut through the noise, tackle the real issues and build businesses that work—for their people and for their own lives.
Having a lifelong connection to rural Australia, Jane has a particular interest in supporting agricultural and regional enterprises, alongside her work with metro-based businesses.
Jane holds a Bachelor of Business (Employment Relations), is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and has been a finalist in the Telstra Business Awards.
When she’s not working Jane is usually outdoors—hiking up a hill or tending to her chooks. Her best ideas rarely start at a desk.
