Meet the QLD Mentors
Camilla Marshall

I began my career in large corporate organisations, which gave me a strong foundation in commercial strategy and the importance of a performance-driven mindset. But as I progressed, I felt a growing desire to use those skills for something more meaningful. That’s what led me to the for-purpose sector. I wanted to apply my experience in a way that directly contributes to the wellbeing of our communities. Working with organisations like Endeavour Foundation and now Mater Foundation has allowed me to align my professional strengths with my personal values, creating impact where it truly matters.

My marketing journey began at Virgin Australia (then Virgin Blue), where I was lucky enough to be selected for the highly competitive Commercial Graduate Program as one of just three graduates from more than 1,500 applicants. From there I built my career at Allianz Partners, progressing from Marketing Manager to General Manager of Marketing and Communications and collaborating with global teams across Asia, Europe and the Americas (with plenty of early‑morning and late‑night calls along the way).

Keen to use my skills for good, I made the move into the for‑purpose sector as General Manager of Marketing at Endeavour Foundation, an organisation supporting people with intellectual disability under the NDIS. After five rewarding years, I stepped into my current role as Director of Marketing at Mater Foundation, Australia’s largest and most impactful hospital foundation—where purpose and impact are at the heart of everything we do.
