Andrea Ryan is a leadership and empowerment strategist who works at the intersection of philanthropy, purpose and gender equality. As Partnerships & Philanthropy Manager at Mission Australia, she builds strategic collaborations that drive social impact and empower women and communities to thrive.

Through her coaching and leadership platform, Limitless Women Lead, Andrea helps women step into positions of power in life, career and community with confidence and purpose. Her work blends evidence-based coaching, behavioural psychology and values-driven strategy to support women in navigating self-doubt, strengthening influence and sustaining wellbeing while leading change.

Drawing on two decades of experience across corporate, nonprofit and philanthropic sectors, Andrea brings a rare dual perspective — strategic insight from working with major partners and authentic empathy from coaching women through real-world challenges.

Her keynotes and workshops including; Reflect → Refocus → Reset, Breaking the Rules, and Leading from Within to Strengthen Self-Belief — inspire women to redefine leadership on their own terms. Andrea is passionate about creating spaces where women can lead with clarity, conviction and compassion building not just stronger leaders, but stronger systems for equality.
