Hayley Markham – The Unflappable Entrepreneur
Our guest this week is one of the co-founders of an international venture all about teaching the younger generation to code.
Hayley Markham is co-founder and COO of Code Camp, which to date has reached 90,000 children with their holiday and after school camps, and online programs, in Australia and also the UK.
Hayley co-founded Code Camp seven years ago and as you’ll hear this hard working pragmatist and efficiency queen got started in the business when her third child was just two weeks old! Little did she know what she was getting herself into then but there’s no doubting Hayley is an unflappable master at juggling life and building a startup.
Code Camp was named one of Smart Company’s top three, fastest growing businesses in Australia in 2018 with 510% revenue growth. It was also nominated as a Deloitte ‘Fast 50 Rising Star’ in 2019 and Hayley herself is a recent winner of Australian Mumpreneur of the Year.
In this episode you’ll hear:

- The career advice she has for others who aren’t sure what their dream role looks like,

- And the one thing Hayley credits with helping her juggle running a business and having a busy family life.
