Jody Chadban.

Jody Chadban is a dynamic leader, speaker, and author who has dedicated her life to building communities and empowering women. In 2000, Jody planted a church in Australia, responding to a divine calling that later led her and her family to New York City. There, she worked with The Salvation Army in Manhattan, establishing new communities among various subgroups and expanding their outreach.

Jody's commitment to community building and leadership development was further nurtured during her two-year participation in an incubator program led by Tim Keller at City to City. She collaborated with multiple churches across New York City and served as a keynote speaker at women's conferences in Manhattan. She is also the author of Make Mine Prada: Life Filled with God's Best, a book that explores faith and life.

After planting a church on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Jody transitioned into the corporate sector, where she designed and led leadership and mentoring programs for Gen Z women and girls from 350 colleges across the United States and 14 countries.

Jody then moved into the web3 space, where she was part of the core founding team of a women's empowerment collection. She spearheaded partnerships with major companies and institutions, including the NYSE, Marvel, Apple, Google, and more. Upon returning to Australia, she continued her journey in web3, exploring the intersection of spirituality and the metaverse.

Jody is also involved with the Global Leadership Network’s latest initiative, the Women's Leadership Network, based in Chicago. She serves as the State Director for New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory (NSW/ACT) in Australia, overseeing and guiding all cohort leaders across the state.

Additionally, Jody has returned to The Salvation Army in Australia, where she is dedicated to developing innovative products that enhance and expand the faith expressions and church initiatives of the organization. Her work continues to make a significant impact, skillfully blending faith, technology, and community leadership.
