Tasmania was built by people who worked tirelessly towards a vision, it didn’t become the amazing island it is on its own. 

It’s a state that’s driven by people who tirelessly work to drive our industries forward. 

They are courageous doers who work passionately towards excellence. 

People who have risen to the top and become leaders, not because they sought leadership but because they have done remarkable things and never compromised on their vision.

As it happens, ended up in prominent positions along the way. 

They are Tasmania’s visionaries and you can hear from them directly on the Visionary Spotlight. A podcast from Business Events Tasmania.

Associate professor Seana Gall is an epidemiologist who has dedicated her life to finding out how our population is affected by heart disease and stroke. 

She says that understanding what is behind the trends in these diseases can help us to prevent them. This is extremely important in Tasmania where some of the risk factors are higher than we would like them to be - but she says it’s easier to keep track of people here over the course of a long term study.

We are were thrilled to have our first visionary epidemiologist step into the spotlight for this episode.
