Emma Chase is the founder and director of Tier One Management. Having left New Zealand at 22, Emma crossed the ditch for an opportunity to work with Dale Beaumont, who was an up-and-coming entrepreneur in Sydney.
Over the next 14 years, they published over 15 business books and built Business Blueprint, a business education company that held conferences for small business owners across Australia. During that time, Emma worked her way up to General Manager and was responsible for finding and booking over 50 speakers per year. This means she has personally seen over 500 keynote speakers and has developed relationships (and friendships) with many people within the industry.
After finishing at Business Blueprint she has worked with a number of speakers, helping them to build and systemise their businesses, as well as running a publishing company and working with her chosen charity, Hands Across the Water. Creating Tier One Management has been a natural progression and something she is extremely passionate about.
Emma’s main priority in life is being the best Mum she can be to her 4 year old daughter Coco. Her other loves include her family, friends and being in the sunshine at any beach.
