Tanya Brown

Ms Brown brings to WIRF a wealth of experience drawn from more than 20 years as a Director leading a Family Office with diverse operations across commercial property, hospitality, large-scale festivals, and philanthropy.

Alongside her commercial leadership, Ms Brown has served for over six years on the Board of Special Olympics Australia, where she played a pivotal role as Chair of the Perth bid to host the 2027 World Summer Games.

Ms Brown is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, Harvard Business School, The University of Western Australia, and Methodist Ladies’ College, with her career reflecting a rare balance of strategic, commercial, and community-minded leadership.

Motivated by opportunities to lead authentically, inspire others, and drive meaningful impact, Ms Brown’s decision to join WIRF stems from a genuine passion for women’s and infants’ health and a deep respect for the Foundation’s mission and people.
