ABOUT THE PRESENTERS
Emma Tomkinson
Emma is the founder of Community Insight Australia, a software that takes all the publicly available data about Australians and pushes it out through a map. When people designing services need to know about an issue or a place, they can just go to the map and see everything there is to know. Emma also works on social investment and innovation with Impact Seed.
Emma has worked on social impact bond policy for the NSW Government and UK Cabinet Office. She intimately understands outcomes-based program design and implementation through her years of experience in designing for measurable outcomes through social impact bonds, working across the not for profit, finance and government sectors nationally and internationally.
Prior to embarking on a career as a social impact analyst, Emma was a maths teacher, with her first job in the Northern Territory.
Emma has a Bachelor of Arts (Mathematics, Politics and Philosophy) and a Master of Special Education (Psychometrics) from the University of Western Australia. In addition, she holds a Graduate Diploma of Education from Melbourne University and a Master of Science (Operational Research) from the London School of Economics.
