Emmanuel Martin, CPA — Social Entrepreneur & CEO of BREED Australia. After 26 years in corporate Strategy & Finance, he followed a deeper purpose: empowering young people and communities to realise their potential.
From classrooms to youth justice centres to boardrooms, Emmanuel helps people grow through resilience, self-belief & courage.
💬 “Climbing the corporate ladder… I learnt what felt right and what didn’t… I realised my transformation stemmed from steering my own ship and focusing on my strengths and passions.”
💡 Community-Led Impact
BREED’s impact is deeply community-driven.
Programs like Learning for Good are built with — not just for — those they serve.
💬 “Without community — or people connection — we couldn’t have built our mission… Program design was informed by understanding challenges our communities faced.”
🧠 Design Thinking in Action
Emmanuel applies Design Thinking to every initiative — always starting with empathy.
💬 “We engaged stakeholders to understand challenges… This informed our program creation, which involves empathy mapping… We always put ourselves in the shoes of those we serve.”
🌱 Change Creators Initiative
A standout program — Change Creators — supports young men leaving detention with tools in mindset and entrepreneurship.
💬 “Change Creators has inspired me… It’s vital the future can be brighter if we form new thought patterns that liberate us from past pain.”
❤️ A Story That Fuels the Mission
💬 “A young person in Youth Justice wants to become a councillor and public speaker… to help others find alternative pathways to life away from crime.”
✨ Meet the changemakers shaping our communities. Emmanuel Martin is one of them — leading with heart, empathy, and purpose.
