Play like a Girl Founder Holly Bailey had the great pleasure of interviewing Olympic boxer Caitlin Parker OLY at the DyeCo – Solvency & Turnaround Annual Symposium, hosted at the stunning Royal South Yarra Lawn Tennis Club.
In front of a full room of business leaders and professionals, Caity shared her story with a raw honesty that captivated everyone. She gave us a rare glimpse into life as an elite athlete—the glory and the grit. From boxing boys as a determined young girl to becoming Australia’s first female Olympic boxing medallist, her journey is nothing short of remarkable.
Shane Deane captured it perfectly: “Your interview of Caitlin Parker OLY was impeccable and drew us all in to her amazing journey and story of triumph and adversity. You are right when you say she left a lasting impression on everyone, as her energy is infectious and lifted the whole room.”
Caity’s message of resilience, sacrifice, and dedication landed deeply with the audience. As Nicholas Giasoumi reflected, “Her sacrifice and dedication over a long period of time to achieve goals and represent her country for little financial reward speaks volumes as to the quality of person that she is. I'm sure Caitlin will continue to succeed going forward.”
It was an absolute privilege to co-host this event and help share Caity’s powerful story—a reminder that leadership, courage, and high performance aren’t reserved for the boardroom or the arena. They’re built through consistency, struggle, and unwavering belief.
A huge thank you again to Shane and Nick for the opportunity. We’ll be cheering Caity on as she steps into her next chapter, inside and outside the ring.
