place. I think it’s important for business and culture to have that focal point.” states Libby. THE ROXY FOUNDATION. Just when you think no more could fit onto Libby Walsh’s plate, she is currently in the process of extending the great work of the Roxy Foundation in Singapore, to here in Australia. The Roxy Foundation is the charity arm of the business focused on the well-being of children and their families with the Singapore Head Office regularly donating and actively volunteering their time to some great causes. “We’ve been a regular donor to Make a Wish in New Zealand because we’ve got assets in Auckland, so we would volunteer our building for a big event each year and donate to this worthy cause. “Coming out of covid lockdowns and restrictions I’ve been trying to find the right organisation here in Sydney (where the team is based), where we can have a positive impact, not just by way of donations but also for the staff as a group to participate in active volunteering. This will be in place next year and will again focus on the wellbeing of children and their families.”
A balance all around from her work to home-life, there’s much to be admired about the success of Libby Walsh. When she’s not managing multi-million-dollar developments or looking for new acquisitions, she’s organizing a busy schedule of sports and music for three daughters, trying to fit her own exercise regime in and spending time with family. And although ‘unspoken’ it can often be an overwhelming existence and one of great patience to choose one or the other as she did. “What I have learnt is to approach these decisions with clarity and be honest about what you can give something and when; there is no single formula as we are all different and have different circumstances and capabilities”. “Success for me, in my work life, stems from the way you manage things and treat people and how you balance your working life as part of a bigger broader picture. I think when you approach things from a perspective of balance and timing and with patience it helps across all areas of your life.”
