Driven by passion

Anna Samios is Australasia’s first female, Scaling Up Certified Coach. Anna has coached and mentored more than 400 Australian companies over the past three decades as well as founding and owning a family business for over 25 years. She’s fiercely proud to be Australian and passionate about Scaling Australian companies that compete in an international playing field.
Anna loves seeing Australian companies succeed. It’s a passion that has deep roots in her childhood. Growing up in Sydney, the daughter of a pool concreter, Anna remembers her mum and dad talking about their business around the kitchen table every night. She saw how tough it was for her parents to run a small business and support their family.
That personal connection to struggle is why Anna is so passionate about helping entrepreneurs and business leaders succeed. And it’s why she chose to become a Scaling Up coach. As a proven methodology that has successfully helped over 70,000 companies worldwide, Anna knows Scaling Up brings results.
