Rebecca Leppard is an Indonesian entrepreneur who transitioned from a high-powered corner office at a 5-star hotel to the fast-paced and dynamic world of tech and consulting in the UK.

I first met Rebecca at a YATM Lunch Club and again when we were asked to speak at a Federation for Small Business event. Most recently Rebecca was on stage for the YATM Creator Day where she spoke about her journey from 5* Indonesian high-flyer to pandemic refugee, having to work her way back up from nothing when the world was in lockdown.

It’s a fascinating story.

She founded Upgrading Women, a media company and marketing agency helping feminists in business go to market. The agency is a 15-women operation, each with her speciality from LinkedIn to podcasts to newsletters. From the agency's success, Rebecca launched Girl Brand Content Club, an affordable way for coaches and service providers to ‘steal’ her content marketing best practices.

Alongside talking to Rebecca about how she ended up a refugee in lockdown with no Visa and no job, we discuss how speaking and entrepreneurial culture differs between Southeast Asia and the UK and how she’s rebranded and built a successful personal brand from nothing.
