Kate Day is an award-winning winemaker, entrepreneur, and regional trailblazer. She has carved a successful business in a widely competitive arena and learned the hard way that success has multiple pathways. Crucially, her journey has proven that you don’t have to compromise what’s important to you personally to do business on your terms. She is one half of the female winemaking duo behind the Two Pairs and In Two Minds wine brands, which has a story that could rival a Bold and Beautiful plot line!
Kate’s multifaceted experience working with some of Australia’s most prestigious wine companies in conjunction with her consulting business and development of two brands has taught her how to adapt and thrive in the face of change, master business agility, hustle with purpose and plan for success. Kate demonstrates real-life resilience, creating a business model that has enabled her to navigate the challenges inherent in the agricultural industry, particularly those posed by seasonal and climatic factors, helping mitigate risk.
Through her bespoke corporate wine events, she infuses humour and real-life anecdotes through laugh-out-loud stories that are relatable and transferable to your life and business.
“Kate was our keynote speaker at a NSW networking event hosted for Chief Executive Women. Her story is one of determination, dealing with adversity, establishing a business, the hustle, the hilarity and of course, the end product… her wine! We loved having her and the guest feedback was fantastic. I would recommend Kate if you wanted an event that is meaningful and impactful with a dash of ‘down to earth and fun’.” – Emma Hogan, NSW CEW State Chapter Chair
Beyond the wine industry, Kate is also the Program Coordinator for Doctors 4 Mudgee Region Inc., a grassroots, not-for-profit initiative tackling Australia’s rural doctor shortage through community-driven solutions. In this role, she has become a regular spokesperson across national television, radio, press and news/current affairs programs, advocating for equitable rural healthcare and demonstrating how locally driven action can deliver rapid, measurable change. Under her coordination, the initiative has helped secure multiple doctors for the region in under a year through strategic advocacy, stakeholder engagement, and innovative incentive models.
From a speaking perspective, Kate offers rare, practical insight into what’s possible when stakeholders unite behind a shared goal. Her experience spans community mobilisation, rural advocacy, partnership building, and leading change to deliver outcomes, not just ideas.
Kate is a compelling choice for keynotes, panels, and facilitated conversations, particularly for rural businesses, regional organisations, and leadership forums seeking to inspire action, connection, and impact through grounded, real-world experience.
