Eleanor is a driven and pragmatic entrepreneur who founded a niche SaaS platform tailored specifically for the construction industry. With a background in industrial engineering and over a decade of experience in construction project management, she identified a gap in the market for software that addresses domain-specific workflows and regulatory compliance. Her platform, BuildFlow, has gained traction among small to mid-sized construction firms in Melbourne, thanks to its intuitive design and focus on solving real-world pain points. Eleanor is a frequent speaker at industry conferences and actively engages with her clients to ensure her product evolves with their needs. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking in the Dandenong Ranges with her husband and two young children, often brainstorming new features for BuildFlow while on the trails.
