Catherine van der Meulen is the founder of Entrepreneurial Women with Purpose curated to support women across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific with education, empowerment and investment, enabling an entrepreneurial mindset and creating a positive impact. Catherine spent most of her life immersed in her family fashion business Supre before the business was sold and realised that it was time to be educated beyond the family learnings.

Catherine spent the next 5 years studying whilst having children and working full time… not something that she would highly recommend. It was through her university studies and curiosity that she realised that there was a diverse approach to business where all stakeholders win, especially the environment. Catherine moved to New Zealand in 2019 with her children and now lives in regional NZ to ensure she can balance out her commitments as a mother, business woman and champion for change.
