Meet the team

Linda Garnett

Corporate Partnership Strategist and Co-Founder

Linda Garnett is the co-founder of Stellar Partnerships, a corporate strategist and one of Australia’s leading specialists in corporate nonprofit partnerships.

Before moving into the nonprofit sector, Linda spent more than 20 years in senior corporate leadership roles across the UK, Canada, Japan and Australia. She led billion-dollar deals, developed new business strategies and built partnerships across complex organisations. Then she got tired of trying to buy the world and decided she’d rather help save it.

Linda has since worked with organisations including Save the Children, headspace, World Vision, Cancer Council and febfast. She brings a rare corporate perspective to partnership strategy, helping nonprofits understand what businesses value and build partnerships that deliver meaningful commercial and social outcomes.

Linda is the co-author of Partnerships Reimagined and co-creator of Stellar’s corporate partnership frameworks and training programs.

She is uniquely placed to bring new and commercial perspectives to partnering with the corporate sector. Linda is a serial disrupter and loves to challenge the status quo. Once she’s done tap dancing, flying planes and embarrassing her teenagers, she is planning to spend her twilight years plotting a coup in the aged care home.
