About Us

OLR is proudly founded by Olivia Rowan.

Olivia draws on her extensive experience to support HR teams to increase their effectiveness by ensuring they are great partners to their organisations. This commonly results in ensuring HR strategies and processes are aligned with business objectives while creating better workplaces.

Olivia's real point of differentiation as an HR consultant is her "superpower" of her business management experience and governance expertise, as it enables her to bring a business and governance lens to supporting HR teams and developing solutions. Olivia has gained these superpowers from diverse experience of more than 20 years in HR and business management; working in Australia and also internationally across a range of sectors. 

Olivia's strategic and analytical mindset is great for strategy work but can also be put to good use for developing practical, operational processes and ways of working. 

Olivia is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD). She is also a trained coach, and a member of the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI). 

Olivia also enjoys coaching and mentoring clients; whereby she works with them to help them to gain clarity on their career, identifies development opportunities that are aligned with their goals, and supports clients to make some positive changes to create the life they aspire to.

When she is not consulting or coaching, Olivia enjoys going for walks, she is always looking for opportunities to get to a pilates class or to hop onto her yoga mat to recharge (even if it is just for a few minutes!), she loves engrossing herself in a good book, baking, and spending quality time with loved ones.
