Bio
Referred to as “The Mary Poppins of Business Mentoring” by one of her clients, Di Schinella is a seasoned Business Strategist with over 20 years of experience in Sales, Marketing, Partnerships and Leadership.

Her professional journey began at the tender age of 16 working in her family’s business, leading her to pivotal roles in startup businesses as well as renowned, global brands such as New Caledonia Tourism, Globus Family of Brands, Rocky Mountaineer and Aurora Expeditions.

Notable achievements include co-launching Rocky Mountaineer’s inaugural APAC Sales & Marketing office in Australia in 2010 and pioneering the role of Head of Sales at Aurora Expeditions. During her tenure, she developed innovative strategies, expanded distribution channels, introduced new markets & partnerships and mentored high performing teams, leading to historic success and profitability for these brands.

Drawing upon her wealth of expertise and diverse experiences, Di founded her own consulting & mentoring business several years ago to empower others to build purpose and values driven careers or businesses without sacrificing lifestyle, health and fun!

Additionally, she co-created “Women Thriving in Travel”, a free online community supporting women in the travel industry to create successful and fulfilling professional and personal lives, on their own terms, through collaboration, conversation and tailored peer-to-peer learning.

Di was recently interviewed by American Express Business due to the success of her mentoring partnership with one of Rare Bird's mentees. You can read it here - https://www.americanexpress.com/en-au/business/trends-and-insights/articles/how-mentorship-amplified-a-vision-for-inclusivity/

Di’s Mantra: “There’s another way to live life, do business, or build a career—one that doesn’t follow conventional norms”.

As someone who values giving back, Di will also provide complimentary one-on-one strategy sessions exclusively for Rare Birds members who attend the Deep Dive, so make sure you don’t miss it
