Join us at State Library of Queensland to hear from one of Australia’s most well-known business leaders Dr Glen Richards

About this event

Learn from Queensland’s leading entrepreneurs in business, technology and the creative industries at Game Changers.

"Turning an idea or vision into action needs a disciplined approach with regular planning sessions, the right people on board, enduring patience, and a focus and passion for the purpose." Glen Richards

Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame and State Library of Queensland is proud to present Dr Glen Richards. From a small vet practice in Townsville to a multi-million dollar integrated pet care empire, Glen Richards is one of Australia’s most successful business leaders.

Glen will be in a conversation with Peta Ellis, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), that is guaranteed to be motivating, frank and thought-provoking.

Game Changers is a Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame initiative presented by State Library of Queensland, QUT Business School and the Queensland Library Foundation.

About the speaker

Glen grew the Greencross empire from humble beginnings into an ASX-listed company with 300 pet stores and 200 veterinary clinics across Australia, and was also co-founder of Petbarn before it merged with Greencross.

Glen was a resident panelist and investor on on Channel Ten’s Shark Tank series. Shark Tank, as well as being prime time entertainment, promoted entrepreneurship and innovation and assisted early stage entrepreneurs with funding, publicity and mentorship

Since retiring from an executive role with Greencross, Glen now focusses on professional investment, mentoring and directing several companies. He supports early-stage businesses, including his Shark Tank investments.
