Debbie Millard helps founders build resilient businesses that thrive without them.
She is the founder of dhm Coaching & Consulting and an Adapt coach partner, drawing on 30 years in business leadership and finance. Her approach blends strategic vision, a values-based leadership culture, and practical financial acumen to transform founder-dependent companies into self-sustaining enterprises.
Her focus is threefold: helping owners build legacy enterprises while reclaiming time for what matters most, equipping owners, directors and leaders to make informed decisions by truly understanding their financials, and supporting organisations to achieve their vision through fit-for-purpose governance.
As a financial literacy facilitator, she equips business leaders, boards and management teams with the confidence to make sound, strategic decisions, delivering training for the Australian Institute of Company Directors, the College of Law, and the Small Business Development Corporation.
She also brings extensive governance experience as a Non-Executive Director, Board Chair, and Chair of Board Sub-Committees across private businesses, not-for-profits, and Aboriginal corporations.
