Meet Natalia Scheidegger an EO Sydney member and Co-Owner of 3rdmill, an IT company based in Sydney. At the age of 25, Natalia was faced with the surprising and daunting task of taking over the family business after her father's sudden passing. Despite her lack of entrepreneurial experience and limited knowledge about the industry, Natalia stepped up to lead the company while still grieving for her father. Today, we will explore Natalia's remarkable journey as she navigated uncharted waters in running the company and emerged as an inspiring leader. Not only did she successfully assume control of the business, but she also accomplished the impressive feat of doubling its size.

ABOUT NATALIA
Natalia was born in Brazil and later immigrated to Australia with her parents when she was young. At the age of 25, after a short corporate career, Natalia took the reins of her father's IT services business after his sudden passing in 2014.

Despite lacking a technical background, Natalia adapted to the challenges of running a tech business and leading a large team, leveraging her prior experience in corporate strategy at Deloitte.

Today - spear-headed by Natalia's blend of business and technology strategy - 3rdmill has doubled in size and evolved to a Cloud-centric model for its clients. Driven by a desire to honour her father's legacy, Natalia is looking ahead to the next phase of growth with 3rdmill using Data and AI.
