International Women's Day 2026 with Sarah Davidson

Sarah Davidson’s journey is a powerful example of what happens when passion meets purpose. After starting her career as a mergers and acquisitions lawyer at a top international firm, Sarah and her partner Nic, “made the jump” when her “side project” which started off as a creative outlet grew itself into a booming business.

Out of their own personal frustrations at a gap in the market, they founded organic matcha green tea company, Matcha Maiden, in late 2014. A plant-based wellness brand that grew from a kitchen side-hustle into a global enterprise. Soon after, she co-founded Matcha Mylkbar, Melbourne’s celebrated plant-based café, redefining healthy dining and community connection. If that isn’t enough, Sarah created an acclaimed podcast Seize the Yay, where she continues to amplify voices and ideas that challenge traditional notions of success, encouraging others to embrace joy and authenticity in their careers and lives.

Sarah’s courage to pivot from corporate law to entrepreneurship reflects the essence of empowerment, choosing a path that resonates with purpose. Her story embodies the theme of International Women’s Day and the mission of Council’s South East Business Networks (SEBN), to celebrate women’s achievements while fostering meaningful conversations about equality and opportunity.

Sarah’s story blends legal intelligence, entrepreneurial experience, and media versatility. This is an event not to miss. This is a ticketed event, so book your seat today to ensure you don’t miss out.
