Everyone is born a genius, but the process of living de-geniuses them.

Biography

Bailey Lenart is a former Chartered Accountant turned tech entrepreneur who’s on a mission to change the way we work and lead. Originally from sunny Florida, Bailey made a spontaneous move to New Zealand in 2008, and it’s been a life-changing adventure ever since.

Bailey got her start in the SaaS world at Xero, where she climbed the ranks from product marketing to leadership. Along the way, she discovered her passion for building innovative, high-performing teams. But after experiencing burnout firsthand, she realized something needed to change. That’s when she came across Regenerative Leadership, a book that inspired her to rethink her approach to work and leadership.

Fast forward to today, and Bailey is the founder of World Changing Business, where she helps leaders and teams focus on sustainability and purpose while still achieving big results. She’s also the brains behind Collective Flow, a SaaS platform that makes ESG reporting and change initiatives easier by allowing teams to collaborate on strategies and adapt as they go.

Starting her own business wasn’t something Bailey did alone—she had a great mentor, Mike Brown, through Startup Aotearoa, who helped her shape her product and vision. Now, she’s paying it forward by guiding accounting and finance professionals who want to break into non-financial roles that make a real difference in the world.

When she’s not busy driving meaningful change, Bailey loves blending her experiences to empower others and challenge the status quo. For her, it’s not just about building a career; it’s about creating a better future—together.
