Renae Hanvin
Renae Hanvin has made a career of helping businesses understand their risks and vulnerabilities.

She has worked with the likes of Australia Post, Coles, Toyota, Mars, and McDonald’s providing strategic advice around risk reduction, and crisis and incident responses, and now channels that expertise into her trailblazing work around disaster resilience.

Passionate about helping organisations and governments recognise and act on risks before disaster strikes, Renae integrates her thinking around disaster preparation and resilience. Committed to building resilient businesses and helping communities thrive, Renae leads engaging collaborations between government, corporates, and small business.


Focused on protecting people, reputation, and profits, she works with organisations of every size, type, industry, and location.

Recognising the growing need for a new approach to resilience, Renae recently launched Resilient Ready (RR), a methodology she created when she founded C2C. Resilient Ready is driving a new ecosystem in business community resilience that will save lives and livelihoods and strengthen community networks and global wellbeing.

Knowledgeable and relatable, Renae hosts the ‘Doing Disasters Differently’ podcast, regularly speaks at industry events and has been published internationally.

Resilient Ready?
If your approach to disasters sits in a business continuity plan owned by a silo team member, it won’t help you thrive. Sharing her Resilient Ready? methodology, Renae will introduce the 4P approach where Prevent, Prepare, Promote and Protect sets a new, holistic, multi-stakeholder culture to getting ahead of disasters. With resilience the new vital business capability, Renae will demonstrate why everyday business as usual preparedness and resilience is essential (and achievable) for sustainable success
