Jayne Clarke is the founder and CEO of Imagine REEvolution, and she brings almost two decades of senior finance and operations leadership to the role. Holding national and regional management positions with organisations including GSK, Visy and Country Road, she led teams, managed significant budgets and built the kind of systems that keep an organisation accountable. Her accounting degree and ongoing governance experience mean Imagine is run with the same rigour she applied in the corporate world. She sits on the board of the Centre for Conscious Leadership and of Community and Volunteers of Eltham (CAVE), which has supported local families and young people facing financial hardship for more than 30 years.

Her decision to found Imagine grew out of years of community work alongside that career. While providing material aid to local children in need, she noticed the same names kept appearing on the list, and she began asking how she might help break that cycle rather than simply ease it. Talking with young people pointed her towards connection, and she saw how much they came alive working alongside others on things they cared about, like sustainability and social justice. In 2022 she brought those threads together and founded Imagine REEvolution.

Jayne's studies in disability studies and positive psychology, along with her accreditation as an organisational coach, shape a culture where young people are understood rather than managed. She knows that a young person who feels seen is far more likely to come back, try something new and believe they can do it.
