Meet Jane Carey

I started my career in real estate, which led me to co-found a recruitment agency in 1998, working closely with clients in the property sector. As CEO for 25 years, I learnt to navigate economic cycles, make investment decisions, write a business plan, lead a team, build client relationships and manage compliance, all while juggling everything else it takes to run a successful business.

In 2023 I sold a majority share in Edge Recruitment and, after a careful transition to the new owners, took a 12-month sabbatical to travel and reset. Now I use that experience to help business owners, boards and decision-makers in Adelaide and regional SA set clear goals, improve performance, grow sustainably and position their businesses for long-term success.

I've spent more than 15 years as a board director, working with organisations of all sizes across the private and not-for-profit sectors in South Australia. My focus is practical, commercial advice that helps them navigate governance and risk, develop their workforce, manage assets and deliver good outcomes for their customers.

I'm based in Adelaide, but I grew up in a farming family and still have a love of regional South Australia. I enjoy working with people across all kinds of industries, and I'm committed to developing the next generation of successful business owners.
