Hey, I'm Anna 👋🏼

I’m a Founder turned Startup Advisor and Operator, Portfolio Career Mentor and Writer of the popular newsletter Anna Mack’s Stack. I’m obsessed with building a portfolio career made up of many businesses, projects, income streams and passions, and I’m sharing everything I learn along the way.

A bit about me…

In a previous life I co-founded lady-brains, a community and award-winning podcast for entrepreneurial women. I also worked in leadership roles at MECCA and UNIQLO.

Now I mentor aspiring and established portfolio careerists, and work with solopreneurs and founders from Pre-Seed to Series A, helping start, grow and scale their businesses globally. Some of my recent clients include venture backed tech startup Packsmith, cult Aussie beauty brand Ultra Violette and Australia’s largest independent community for founders, The Startup Network.

I also support people to take meaningful action towards building a financially lucrative and creatively fulfilling portfolio career through my Portfolio Career Operating System; an all-in-one operating system designed to help you streamline workflows, save time and minimise burnout while focusing on the things drive more revenue, happiness and fulfilment.

I believe everyone has huge (and sometimes dormant) potential, and I hope that by sharing my experience from a decade of being in the entrepreneurial arena, I can help others access theirs.


What’s Anna Mack’s Stack?

A newsletter for those who have exited (or want to exit) the traditional 9-5 and build a financially lucrative and creatively fulfilling portfolio career made up of multiple clients, projects, passions and income streams. I cover a wide range of topics like:

  • Improving habits and maximising productivity

  • Building systems that increase performance

  • Accessing and developing a creative practice

  • Cultivating a mindset that works for you, not against you

  • Starting, launching, growing and scaling your one person business

  • Improving the quality of your decisions

  • Finding fulfilment, meaning and peace

…and so much more!


Who is this for?

It’s for founders, solopreneurs, creatives and leaders looking to exit traditional work structures and build a life and career on their own terms.


When will you get it?

One email, delivered every Friday at 8:30am AEST straight to your inbox. And it’s free!
