The Gender Index & Zea

Jade McKenzie is a Co-Founder and Director of Zea, an Australian family-owned health and wellness business she has helped build over the past decade. Founded in Tasmania, Zea began with a belief in the potential of Australian native botanicals and has grown into a nationally recognised wellness brand, creating natural, evidence-informed products that support people in feeling better every day. Its locally manufactured health, wellness and lifestyle range is natural, therapeutic-quality, toxin-free and cruelty-free, using sustainably sourced ingredients. Jade leads Zea's brand, partnerships and community engagement and has played a key role in growing the business, its impact and its presence across Australia. Zea is now a Certified B Corporation and a member of 1% for the Planet. As a female founder, Jade is passionate about proving that growing a successful Australian business and using business as a force for good do not have to be competing ambitions.
