Valda Berzin's journey to the top of the corporate world is fuelled by her passion and desire for success. She constantly applies innovative and forward-thinking management solutions to help companies distinguish themselves from the competition.
As an award winning general manager and entrepreneur, Valda Berzins has held senior executive roles with major Australian organisations such as Foster's Group, Australia Post and the Victoria Police. During her tenure as Chief Information Officer (CIO) with Australia Post and Victoria Police, she successfully oversaw their day-to-day operations and at Foster’s played a major role in million dollar acquisitions and mergers, through the implementation of key corporate strategies for future growth.
Valda is highly influenced by her positive upbringing and she puts a lot of hard work into every task that is trusted upon her. These admirable qualities can be attributed to her parents, Latvian immigrants who arrived on the shores of Australia during the post-war immigration boom. Valda Berzin's father worked hard during the day to support the family and he also attended night classes at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. After years of hard work, Valda's father graduated from the university with a diploma in accounting.
Following her father's footstep, Valda graduated from the prestigious University of Melbourne with two bachelor degrees (Bachelor of Commerce & Bachelor of Science). On top of that, she has numerous accreditation and qualifications in real estate, accountancy and interior design.
Today, Valda also runs her own extension, renovation, interior design and home decoration firm, Valdasigns, in Melbourne. Through the combination of relentless hard work, creativity, and project management prowess gained during her time as CIO, she has demonstrated the portability of her general management skills. In addition to her role as director of business for Valdasigns, she is also a Strategic Business and IT Consultant for numerous organisations in Australia.
