The Talent Risk
She Didn’t Quit. Her Organisation Just Didn’t Know How to Support Her.
Twelve years in. High performer. On the succession plan. Then she went on maternity leave and nobody checked in. Her role quietly shifted. Eighteen months later, she resigned.
Her exit interview said ‘seeking a new challenge.’ It always does. The leadership gap she left is still showing up in the gender pay gap report.

Built by Leaders
Who’ve Lived It.
Meet Michelle O’Keeffe and Tracy Gunn, Platform55 Co-Founders. Award-winning. Commercially driven. Deeply human. They built Platform55 because they understand first-hand what happens when work and life collide — and what it takes to keep talent, performance and ambition intact.
Commercial Thinking
We start with business outcomes — retention, pipeline, performance — and build backwards from there.
