Fraser, who brings experience from top-tier organisations such as PwC, has successfully led diversity and inclusion programmes for global corporations across Australia, Europe, and the United Kingdom.

“Having worked at the highest levels of top organisations, I've seen the gaps in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging firsthand,” she said. “Equi Consultancy Partners was founded to address these shortcomings and deliver tailored solutions that help organisations create truly inclusive environments.”

Headquartered in Australia, Equi Consultancy Partners launches with a global presence, with team members in Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. “Our team is the heart of our success. We have assembled a group of highly skilled and experienced consultants who are dedicated to delivering outstanding results for our valued clients.”

Supporting business for good

Beyond her corporate work, Fraser is a dedicated volunteer with inclusion-focused organisations and serves as a mentor to professionals, contributing to the development of the next generation of leaders.

“At Equi Consultancy Partners, we believe in making a meaningful impact beyond our consulting work. That’s why a portion of our revenue is invested in social enterprises committed to creating positive change in the world. By supporting these initiatives, we contribute to causes that align with our values and our mission to drive diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.”
